1) The graph show that there is an increase up through the lunch break. Then it is slow until 4:00PM where it picks up then levels off until 9:00 PM where is decreases until closing at 10:00 PM. Answer (D) is closest to that description.
2) For f(x), if you set x to zero, then the y-intercept is at -2. This leaves only graphs B and C.
h(x) drops f(x) by 3 units, or -2 -3 = -5. That leaves only graph (C) where the y-intercept is -5.
