Find the Roots (Zeros) y=-5x-7

Problem

y=−5*x−7

Solution

1. Set the function to zero to find the roots, as the roots (zeros) occur where the value of the function y is equal to 0

0=−5*x−7

2. Isolate the term with x by adding 7 to both sides of the equation.

7=−5*x

3. Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by −5

x=−7/5

Final Answer

x=−7/5
