Solution
The correct option is A (0, -3) To plot the graph of y=x2−2x−3, form the following table by assigning integer values from -3 to 4 for x and finding corresponding values of y=x2−2x−3. x−3−2−101234x2941014916−2x6420−2−4−6−8−3−3−3−3−3−3−3−3−3y1250−3−4−305 Plot the points (-3, 12), (-2, 5), (-1, 0), (0, -3), (2, -3), (3, 0), (4, 5) and join the points by a smooth curve. It is clear from the graph that the curve intersects the y-axis at one point(at -3).
