Rearrange 8x +2y+11=0 into y=mx+b

y = 4x + 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We put 2y in the y spot, obviously

2y = mx + b

Then we put 8x in the x spot

2y = 8x + b

Then we put 11 in the b spot

2y = 8x + 11

Then, to simplify, we divided by equation by two (it still gives the same results)

y = 4x + 5.5

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
