Question

In the quadratic equation of the form $y=a{x}^2+bx+c$, assuming $a\ne 0,b\ne 0$, and $c\ne 0$, what does the value of $c$ represent?

• A. The solution (zero) of the equation
• B. The location of the graph's axis of symmetry
• C. The y-intercepts of the graph of the equation
• D. The maximum or minimum value of the equation

Answer 1

The correct option is C The y-intercepts of the graph of the equation

The $y$ intercept of the graph is obtained when $x=0.$

Thus $y\left(x\right)=a{x}^2+bx+c$

Hence, $y\left(0\right)=c$

Hence '$c$' denotes the $y$ intercept of the graph.
