Multiple choice question asking to identify the form of a quadratic function that reveals the y-intercept, followed by a blank to fill in the y-intercept value.
The function m(x) is shown in three equivalent forms. Choose the form that most easily reveals the y-intercept of the graph y = m(x). Options: m(x) = -2(x - 6)² + 18, m(x) = -2(x - 3)(x - 9), m(x) = -2x² + 24x - 54. What is the y-intercept of m(x)? y-intercept = (0, ___)
