Answer 1

Do you know what the solution to a linear equation means?

Answer 2

the links isnt working :(

Answer 3

And use the attach file button

Answer 4

sort of :/ not really

Answer 5

Well the solution to the equation is where the line crosses the x-axis

Answer 6

Do you know which axis is the x axis?

Answer 7

yeah

Answer 8

The x axis is also where y equals zero, do you see any of the options that have 0 for the y?

Answer 9

number 4

Answer 10

So since y is zero at -1 in this equation the solution is -1.

Answer 11

Remember (x,y)

Answer 12

so would it be 4. (0,-1)

Answer 13

Not quite, y is -1 in number 4

Answer 14

We need y to be 0

Answer 15

oh then it 1.

Answer 16

r u looking for the x-intercept?

Answer 17

Exactly! Good job.

Answer 18

thank you so much
