Interpret and sketch key graph/table features in context: intercepts, intervals, maxima/minima, symmetry, end behavior, and periodicity.

Interpret a y-intercept in context

Problem

Use the graph to state the \(y\)-intercept in function notation.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

A vertical intercept is the graph’s output when the input is zero. We’ll read the marked point in input-output order, attach the axis units, and translate it into function notation. Then we’ll interpret zero input as the contextual starting moment and distinguish the resulting initial amount from a rate of change.
