1. In your own words, define what an x-intercept is and explain its significance in the graph of a function.
2. Find the x-intercept of the linear equation y = 3x - 9. The x-intercept is .
3. The x-intercept of the equation 2x + 5y = 10 is .
4. Which of the following quadratic functions has x-intercepts at x = 2 and x = -3?
y = (x - 2)(x + 3)
y = (x + 2)(x - 3)
y = x^2 - x - 6
