What is the zero of the function represented by this graph?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero is where the graph crosses the line y=0 (the x-axis). It is also called the x-intercept.

That point is (-6, 0). The x-value there is -6.

Some folks like the x-value only; others like the ordered pair. Of course the y-value in the ordered pair is 0, which is what makes it a zero of the function.
