Which function below has the lowest y-intercept?



f(x)


graph going through (0,5) and (4, 3)

g(x)


Kyle started the summer having read 3 books but plans to read 6 books per month over the summer.


h(x)


h(x) = 3x + 4


f(x)


g(x)


h(x)


The functions all have the same y-intercept.

If f(x) is given with points (0,5) and (4,3), it can be easily plotted in a coordinate system (see .jpeg image in attachment).
If g(x) is a function defined by text:
Kyle started the summer having read 3 books but plans to read 6 books per month over the summer.
Then, g(x) is given with:
g(x) = 6x+3 (3 books read already, and 6 books will be read each month).
h(x) is already given with:
h(x)=3x+4
These all three functions are plotted in coordinate system (see the .jpeg image), and it can be seen that the lowest y-intercept has function g(x), and it is the value of 3 on y-axis. Others have 4 (h(x)) and 5 (f(x)).

Here is your answer:

\(g(x) = 6 \times x+3

h(x)=3\times x+4



\)

The lowest y-intercept has function g(x) with the value of three the others have four (h(x)) and five (f(x))which would mean that your answer is the second option "g(x)."

Hope this helps!
