Question

The graph of the polynomial p(x) = 7x + 8 is a straight line which intersects the x-axis at exactly one point namely:-
A (-7/8, 0)
В (7/8)
С (-8/7,0)
D (8/7, -8/7)​

Answer 1

Answer:

(-8/7, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the polynomial equation p(x) = 7x+8 intersects the x-axis.

The equation of the x-axis is y=0

Therefore, p(x)=0

7x+8 = 0

7x = -8

x = -8/7

The intersection point is (-8/7, 0)
