Answer:

1 root

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation should only cross the x-axis at one point. That means there would only be 1 root. (Root is when y= 0)

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-6})\qquad \qquadd = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}\\\\\\d=\sqrt{[4-(-2)]^2+[-6-2]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(4+2)^2+(-6-2)^2}\\\\\\d=\sqrt{6^2+(-8)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{100}\implies d=10$
