Graph the function y=x-5. What is the zero of this function?*
1 answer:
Answer:
(5,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
"The zero" means the 'x-intercept' of the graphed equation.
That gives you the value of x (first number in the pair) that you substitute in the equation to make it true to get the value of y being 0, (the second number in the pair.
y = x - 5 substitute 0 for y and 5 for x and check
0 = 5 - 5 True.
Or to solve if no choices are there to select
0 = x-5 add 5 to both sides of the equation
0 + 5 = x -5 + 5 -5 +5 = 0
5 = x
Ot graph the equation
