Answer: 2
Explanation:
x-intercepts are points on a graph that lie directly on the x-axis and have 0 as their y-coordinate value. To find the x-intercepts, we just have to replace the y in the equation with 0.
y = (2x+5)(x-9)
0 = (2x+5)(x-9)
Apply zero product rule.
2x+5 = 0 OR x-9 = 0
x = -
OR x = 9
Thus, the two coordinates of the x-intercepts are: (-
, 0) and (9, 0)
