To solve the equation \(9x - 6 = -8\), we want to isolate \(x\). First, we can add 6 to both sides of the equation:
\[ 9x - 6 + 6 = -8 + 6 \] \[ 9x = -2 \]
Next, we divide both sides by 9:
\[ x = -\frac{2}{9} \]
To graph this, we can rearrange the equation to set it equal to zero. We can rewrite the equation \(9x - 6 = -8\) as:
\[ 9x - 6 + 8 = 0 \] \[ 9x + 2 = 0 \]
So, the function we want to graph is:
\[ f(x) = 9x + 2 \]
This means the correct response is:
f(x) = 9x + 2.
