Set all the factors equal to 0 and solve for x.

1) x + 6 = 0

x = -6

2) x + 8 = 0

x = -8

3) x + 15 = 0

x = -15

When the function is graphed, you can see that the function crosses the numbers -15, -8, and -6 on the x-axis. These are the zeros.

Y=-3x+4
Gradient, m= -3
Parallel lines have equal gradients;
So, equation II,
y=mx+c
y=-3x+c
Replacing for x and y using point (-4, 6)
6=-3(-4)+c
6=12+c
6-12=c
c=-6
y=-3x-6
