@Directrix  i need some help i figuered it would be B.) because the line passes through the x axis once.

Look at the attachment. Between the two vertical segments I drew, how many times does the graph pass through the x-axis?

anonymous · Answer

Im confused why are the lines off so far to the side? @Directrix

anonymous · Answer

maybe other times but this time you did a great job at solving it

anonymous · Answer

so i am right? @BabiiMuffin

directrix · Answer

Yes, you are. The vertical segments are far apart in that they correspond to the equations of between x = -5 and x = 5  @oscar55773

anonymous · Answer

yes
