Students are given an exponential equation and asked to identify the y-intercept from a list of choices.

\n

The constants in the exponential equation have been randomised.

What is the $y$-intercept of the exponential function $y=\\var{k} \\times \\var{a}^{\\var{bdisplay}x}$?

", "advice": "

Every exponential of the form $y=a^x$ or $y=a^{-x}$ passes through the point $(0,1)$.

\n

When the equation is multiplied by a constant, $k$, the $y$-intercept moves to pass through the point $(0,k)$.

\n

So this exponential has a $y$-intercept of $(0,\\var{k})$
