A parabola is graphed on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 4 to 6 in increments of 1. The y-ais ranges from negative 8 to 4 in increments of 1.

Identify one of the zeros (or x-intercepts) on the graph.

Answer 1

To identify the zero (or x-intercept) of the parabola from the description, we are looking for a point where the graph crosses the x-axis. The x-intercepts will have a y-coordinate of 0.

From the given options:

1. **(0, 2)** - This is not an x-intercept since the y-coordinate is 2.
2. **(0, −4)** - This is also not an x-intercept since the y-coordinate is -4.
3. **(4, 0)** - This is an x-intercept because the y-coordinate is 0.
4. **x = 1.5** - This indicates a point on the x-axis but does not specify a graph point.

Thus, one of the zeros (or x-intercepts) on the graph is **(4, 0)**.
