Answer explanation
Choice B is correct. An x-intercept of a graph in the xy-plane is a point at which the graph crosses the x-axis. The graph shown crosses the x-axis at the point . Therefore, the x-intercept of the graph shown is .
Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
