What is the zero of a graph?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the concept of a 'zero' in the context of a graph, which typically refers to the x-value(s) where the graph intersects the x-axis, meaning the output (y-value) is zero.
Answer
The point where the graph intersects the x-axis.
The zero of a graph is the point where the graph intersects the x-axis.
Answer for screen readers
The zero of a graph is the point where the graph intersects the x-axis.
More Information
Zeros, also known as roots or x-intercepts, occur when the function's value is zero. For polynomial functions, the number of zeros corresponds to the polynomial's degree.
