Question

Which value represents the zero of the linear function y = 5x - 10? A -10 B -2 C 2 D 10

Answer 1

2

Step-by-step explanation

The zero of a function is the point in the function where the value of the function is zero.

Simply put, we have to find the value of x that makes the function become 0.

So, we have that:

y = 5x - 10

=> 0 = 5x - 10

=> 5x = 10

Divide through by 5:

x = 10 / 5

x = 2

The zero of the function is 2.
