Need help with this ASAP (just ordered pairs!)

1. y = 2x

x | y = 2x | y

5 | y = 2(5) | 10

3 | y = 2(3) | 6

0 | y = 2(0) | 0

-1 | y = 2(-1) | -2

-5 | y = 2(-5) | -10

2. y = 1 + 5x

x | y = 1 + 5x | y

-2 | y = 1 + 5(-2) | -9

-1 | y = 1 + 5(-1) | -4

0 | y = 1 + 5(0) | 1

2 | y = 1 + 5(2) | 11

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!
