CPM Homework Help : CAAC Problem 5-59

Consider the rule y = x − 2. 5-59 HW eTool (Desmos). Homework Help ✎
1. Without graphing, find the zero of y = x − 2. Remember that a zero of a rule is an input that makes the output zero.
2. Make a table and graph y = x − 2 on graph paper.
3. How could you find the zero of y = x − 2 with your graph from part (b)? What about with the table? Explain.

Hint (a):

Set the equation equal to zero, since your output would be zero, and then solve for x.

Hint (c):

Find the point where y = 0.
