Answer 1

To determine which function has a y-intercept, we need to evaluate each function at \(x=0\):

1. For \(f(x) = \sqrt{x - 2}\):

   • \(f(0) = \sqrt{0 - 2} = \sqrt{-2}\), which is not a real number. Thus, \(f(x)\) has no y-intercept.

2. For \(g(x) = \sqrt{2 - x}\):

   • \(g(0) = \sqrt{2 - 0} = \sqrt{2}\), which is a real number. Hence, \(g(x)\) has a y-intercept.

Based on this evaluation, the answer is:

Option 2: g(x)
