Advanced MathEasyGraph that misses the origin

Advanced Math practice question

Which of the following functions has a graph that does not pass through the origin?

  1. A. y = x² + 1Correct
  2. B. y = x²
  3. C. y = 2x
  4. D. y = −x²

Answer: A. y = x² + 1

At x = 0, y = 1, not 0.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. y = x²
0² = 0, so (0, 0) is on the graph.
C. y = 2x
2(0) = 0.
D. y = −x²
−0² = 0.
