Answer explanation
Choice D is correct. The y-intercept of a graph is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis. The graph of function shown intersects the y-axis at the point . Therefore, the y-intercept of the graph of is .
Choice A is incorrect. This is the point where the x-axis, not the graph of , intersects the y-axis.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
