To find the x-intercept of the function, we need to set y equal to zero since the x-intercept occurs at the point where the function crosses the x-axis.
Let's rewrite the equation by setting y = 0:
0 + 1 = -29(x + 9)
Simplifying:
1 = -29(x + 9)
Now, let's solve for x:
1 = -29x - 261
Add 261 to both sides:
262 = -29x
Divide both sides by -29:
-262/29 = x
So, the x-intercept of the function is -262/29.
A linear function is shown.
(y+1)=−29(x+9)
Which equivalent equation is BEST for identifying the x
-intercept of the function? What is the x
-intercept of the function?
