Write a possible equation for this function:
y=1/(x-2)+5

Which of the following responses DOES NOT properly justify the below summary statement:
The y-intercept of the equation y = x + 3 is (0, 3)
a) In the equation, you can see that 3 is the number without an x.
b) In the equation, when I plug in x = 0, I get y = 3.
c) In the equation, you can see that it is in slope intercept form, y = mx +b, where b = 3 is the y - intercept.
Response A
Not enough explanation. And there are counterexamples like
y = 2/(x+1) + 3

What is the y intercept of this function?
y=(x-1)^3-3
(0, -4)

Mr. Wong saw this building in Chicago last week that had a parabola design on the bottom. He calculated the full length of the parabola to be about 200 feet. The highest point of the parabola was 12 stories high (each story is about 10 feet). Hhe was like, "I'm going to make my students write a possible equation for this!!"
y=-.012(x-100)^2+120
