Question

The graph of y = 4 – is shown.



Which statement about the graph is accurate?

The x-intercept of the graph is (4, 0).
The graph has no y-intercepts.
The maximum of the graph occurs at the y-intercept.
The minimum of the graph occurs at the x-intercept.

Answer 1

Rather than try to select the correct answer without doing work, I'd rather do the work first and the matching later.

Given y = 4 - x, or    y = 4 - 1x,

1) the y-intercept is (0,4).
2) this being a linear function, it has neither maximum nor minimum.
3) the x-intercept is found by letting y = 0 and solving for x:  0 = 4 - x; x - 4.  The x-intercept is (4,0).

Which of the given statements is true?

Answer 2

Answer:

B. The graph has two y-intercepts.
