Answer:

2 is positive difference in the y-intercept value of f(x) and g(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear function f(x) passes through the points (0,1) and (2,7)

Using two point formula of line find function f(x)

[tex]f(x)-1=\frac{7-1}{2-0}(x-0)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=3x+1[/tex]

For y-intercept, put x=0

f(x)=1

Ordered pair values are the exponential function g(x)

  x  :      -1     2      3

g(x):    1.5    12     24

Using exponential function [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=3(2)^x[/tex]

For y-intercept, put x=0

g(0)=3

We need to find the difference of y-intercept of f(x) and g(x)

Difference = g(0)-f(x) = 3 - 1 = 2

Thus, 2 is positive difference in the y-intercept value of f(x) and g(x).
