Question

Please be a good person and help me..I really need to get this right to boost my grade in math ((and boy do I need it!!))

Use the graph shown to fill in the blank.

When x = 1, then y = a0.

Answer 1

Use a different color pen to draw a vertical line through x = 1 on the x axis. See the attached image and you'll see I'm drawing a vertical red line. This red line crosses the slanted black line at the location (1,-2), which is the blue point marked. The x coordinate of this point is x = 1 and the y coordinate of this point is y = -2.

So when x = 1, the value of y is y = -2 which is the final answer
