I am not certain of what you wrote for the function but will assume that is likely exponential function or quadratic function.
First, (quadratic function) To solve this, you must know the quadratic formula. The x-intercept is value(s) that has the output value(y) of 0.
If the vertex of the quadratic function of (0,0), there is only one x-intercept. The number and value of the x-intercept depends on the slope and vertical displacement.
Second, (exponential function) note that there is no x-intercept. For instance, if a is 2, is there such value y that 2^y is 0? The smallest exponential value that is an integer is 1. Even broadening the limit to rational numbers, no such exponential value can have the result of 0. Therefore, in the basic form of exponential function, there is no x-intercept.
Answer:
ok
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the rate of change, or slope, pick two points. The slope, is change in y coordinates over change in x coordinates.

.
In this case, the slope is

.
Remember that subtracting a negative number equals adding the number without the negative sign.
a-(-b) = a+b
Now for the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the graph intersects the y-axis, where x = 0.
You have the coordinate (0, -1), where x = 0. So the y-intercept is -1.
Putting these values into the slope-intercept form y = mx+b, the equation is
y = -5x - 1
