Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the linear equation and identify the features requested:
-
Slope: The equation is in slope-intercept form , where is the slope. Here, , so the slope is .
-
y-intercept: The y-intercept is the value of when . From the equation, when , . So, the y-intercept is .
-
x-intercept: To find the x-intercept, set and solve for : So, the x-intercept is .
-
Zero of the function: The zero of the function is the same as the x-intercept, which is .
Summary of features:
- Slope:
- y-intercept:
- x-intercept:
- Zero of the function:
