im confused, help please?

For this case, what we should do is observe the value of the function at the cutoff point with the vertical axis.
The cutoff point with the vertical axis, by definition, occurs when the independent variable is equal to zero.
Equivalently:
[tex] x = 0 [/tex]
We observe that for x = 0 we have that the value of the dependent variable is:
[tex] y = -9 [/tex]
Therefore, the intersection with the y axis is:
[tex] (x, y) = (0, -9) [/tex]
Answer:
[tex] (x, y) = (0, -9) [/tex]
