Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(x1,y1) = (1,4) and m = 2
(y-y1)/(x-x1) = m
derive the linear function first before finding the zero.
(y-4)/(x-1) = 2
cross multiply
y-4 = 2(x-1)
y-4= 2x - 2
y = 2x - 2+4
y. = 2x + 2 is the linear equation
at y = 0 gives the zero
2x + 2 = 0
2x = -2
x = -2/2
x = -1 is the zero
