Define a maximum on a graph

A maximum on a graph represents the highest value that the function reaches, which corresponds visually to the highest point on the graph.

Evaluate the given options

• "The point where the graph crosses the \(x\)-axis" describes an \(x\)-intercept.
• "The lowest point of the graph" describes a minimum.
• "The point where the graph crosses the \(y\)-axis" describes the \(y\)-intercept.
• "The highest point of the graph" describes a maximum.
