Question

what is the sum of the x-intercepts for the function shown in the graph and a function represented by the equation $y = -1x - 2$?\
options: -4, -6, -8, -10

Explanation:

Step1: Find x-intercept of the graph

The x-intercept is where $y=0$. From the graph, the line crosses the x-axis at $x=-6$.

Step2: Find x-intercept of $y=-x-2$

Set $y=0$, solve for $x$:
$0 = -x - 2$
$x = -2$

Step3: Sum the two x-intercepts

Add the two values: $-6 + (-2)$

Answer:

-8
