Question

A parabola is graphed on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 20 to 25 in increments of 5. The y-axis ranges from negative 60 to 20 in increments of 10.

Answer 1

To identify the y-intercept on a graph, we look for the point where the parabola crosses the y-axis. The y-intercept occurs when $x=0$.

From the options provided:

• (−10,0) corresponds to a point on the x-axis, not the y-axis.
• (0,−50) indicates the y-intercept, as it has an x-coordinate of 0.
• x=5 is an equation, not a coordinate point.
• (20,0) is also a point on the x-axis.

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, −50).
