Example Question #75 : Algebra I

What is the x-intercept of the following equation? 

Possible Answers:

0

5

2

-5

10

Correct answer:

5

Explanation:

We want to find the x-intercept, which is the point at which the graph crosses the x-axis. Every point on the x-axis has a y-value of 0. Thus, to find the x-intercept we just need to plug 0 in for y. 

Thus, .

Dividing both sides by , we get
