Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
X-AXIS
when a graph intersects the x-axis, the y value is always 0.
Ex. Points (1,0), (-5,0), (-3,0), (6,0), etc. are all on the x-axis because y = 0.
to find where the graph crosses the x-axis, let y or g(x) = 0
0 = -5^x + 5 subtract 5 from both sides
-5 = -5^x if x is 1, that would produce -5 = -5
(1,0) x axis
Y-AXIS
when a graph intersects the y-axis, the x value is always 0.
Ex. Points (0, 1), (0, -2), (0, 3), etc. all lie on the y-axis because x = 0.
to find where teh graph crosses the y-axis, let x = 0
does the exponent "x" apply to (-5) or just 5?
[tex]-5^{x} or (-5)^{x}[/tex]
(-5)^0 + 5 any number with a 0 power is 1
1 + 5 = 6
(0, 6)
or -5^0 + 5
-1 + 5 = 4
(0, 4)
