After graphing it, use the 2ndCALC button and 2:zero button, hit ENTER. At the lower part of the screen you will see “left bound?” and a blinking cursor on the graph of the line. Move this cursor to the left of the x-intercept, hit ENTER. Now it says “right bound?" Move the cursor to the right of the x-intercept, hit ENTER. Now it says “guess?” Move your cursor to the left somewhere in between the left and right bound near the x-intercept. Hit ENTER. At the bottom of your screen it will display the coordinates of the x-intercept or the “zero" to the y-value. Use this to find the x-intercept.

- For the following exercises, use your graphing calculator to input the linear graphs in the Y= graph menu. After graphing it, use the 2ndCALC button and 2:zero button, hit ENTER. At the lower part of the screen you will see “left bound?” and a blinking cursor on the graph of the line. Move this cursor to the left of the x-intercept, hit ENTER. Now it says “right bound?" Move the cursor to the right of the x-intercept, hit ENTER. Now it says “guess?” Move your cursor to the left somewhere in between the left and right bound near the x-intercept. Hit ENTER. At the bottom of your screen it will display the coordinates of the x-intercept or the “zero" to the y-value. Use this to find the x-intercept. Note: With linear/straight line functions the zero is not really a “guess,” but it is necessary to enter a “guess” so it will search and find the exact x-intercept between your right and left boundaries. With other types of functions (more than onex-intercept), they may be irrational numbers so “guess” is more appropriate to give it the correct limits to find a very close approximation between the left and right boundaries. 51.Y1=8x+6arrow_forwardFor each of the following exercises, use the graph in the figure below. 47.Which point is closer to the origin?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, determine whether the lines given by the equations below are parallel, perpendicular, orneither parallel nor perpendicular: Graph of the linear function f(x)=x+6.arrow_forward
- For the following exercises, use your graphing calculator to input the linear graphs in the Y= graph menu. After graphing it, use the 2ndCALC button and l:valuebutton, hit ENTER. At the lower part of the screen you will see x= and a blinking cursor. You may enter any number for x and it will display the yvalue for any x value you input. Use this and plug in x=0 , thus finding the y-intercept, for each of the following graphs. 50.Y1=x+52arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, find the equation of the line with the given information. 15.
