Answer:
(a)
[tex](2,0)[/tex]
(b)
[tex](0,-2)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex](x_1,y_1)= (4,2)[/tex] --- point
[tex]m =1[/tex] -- slope
Solving (a): The zeros of the function
First, we calculate the equation using:
[tex]y = m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]y = 1 * (x - 4) + 2[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]y = x - 4+ 2[/tex]
[tex]y = x -2[/tex]
The zeros also is: [tex]y=0[/tex]
[tex]0 = x - 2[/tex]
[tex]x =0+2[/tex]
[tex]x =2[/tex]
So, the solution to be is
[tex](2,0)[/tex]
(b) The y intercept is:
Substitute [tex]x=0[/tex]
[tex]y = 0 -2 = -2[/tex]
We have:
[tex](0,-2)[/tex]
