Figure 1 shows a sketch of the curve C with equation y = f(x). The curve C passes through the origin O and touches the x-axis at the point (3, 0). There is a maximum point at (1, 4). Figure 1 (b) Write down the coordinates of the point where the curve with equation y = f(x) - 5 crosses the y-axis.
- (b)Write down the coordinates of the point where the curve with equation y = f(x) - 5 crosses the y-axis.[2]

Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme. The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- M1 for setting x = 0 to find the y-intercept of the original curve, f(0) = 0.
- A1 for correctly stating the y-intercept of y = f(x) - 5 is (0, -5). (Accept if written separately as x = 0, y = -5).
