a) the function g(x) has a higher y-intercept.
b) the function f(x) has a higher y-intercept.
c) they both have the same y-intercept.
d) the relationship between y-intercepts cannot be determined.

The answer is:

The correct option is:

A) The function g(x) has a higher y-intercept.

To solve the problem, we need to find the y-intercept of the g(x) function, and then, compare to the y-intercept of the f(x) function which is equal to -1 (we can see it on the picture).

Also, we need to remember the slope-interception form of the line:

So,

Finding the y-intercept of the g(x) function, we have:

Calculating the slope of the function, using the first two points (4,9) and (6,13), we have:

Now,

Calculating the value of "b", we have:

Using the first point (4,9), the slope of the function, and the slope-intercept form of the function, we have:

So, the equation of the line will be:

We know that "b" represents the y-intercept, so, the function g(x) has its y-intercept at y equal to 1.

Comparing, we have that the function f(x) has a y-intercept located at y equal to "-1" and the g(x) function has a y-intercept located at y equal to "1".

Hence, the correct option is:

A) The function g(x) has a higher y-intercept.

Have a nice day!

11.2

step-by-step explanation:

when doing tangent the tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side from the angle over the adjacent side to the angle.

tan43 = x / 12

move 12 over by multiplying each side by 12

12tan43 = x

x = about 11.2
