Answer: The correct option is 2.
Explanation:
From the given figure it is easily noticed that the graph intersect the y-axis at y=9 , therefore the y-intercept is (0,9).
To find the equation of the curve put x=0 in each option, If we get y=9 then that option is true.
Option 1:
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^{(x+3)}-1[/tex]
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^{(0+3)}-1=\frac{1}{8}-1=\frac{-7}{8}[/tex]
Option 2:
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^{(x-3)}+1[/tex]
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^{(0-3)}+1=8+1=9[/tex]
Option 3:
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^{(x-1)}+3[/tex]
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^{(0-1)}+3=2+3=5[/tex]
Option 4:
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^{(x+1)}-3[/tex]
[tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^{(0+1)}-3=\frac{1}{2}-3=\frac{-5}{2}[/tex]
Only the equation in option 2 have the y-intercept (0,9), therefore the correct answer is option second.
