What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear function?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis, representing the output when x = 0.

What does it mean for a function to be continuous?

Back

A function is continuous if there are no breaks, jumps, or holes in its graph, meaning it can be drawn without lifting the pencil.
