Answer explanation

Choice B is correct. The y-intercept of a graph is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis. The graph of function f shown intersects the y-axis at the point 0,-4. Therefore, the y-intercept of the graph is 0,-4.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
