Jovan Zhang · Answer 1

y = x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the value of the function when x = 0.

If f (x) = x - 16, f (0) = 0 - 16 = - 16.

A is wrong, because f (0) = - 16 (0) + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1.

B is wrong, because f (0) = 16 (0) + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1.

D is wrong, because f (0) = 0 + 16 = 16.
