Find the Roots (Zeros) y=-9x-1

$y = - 9 x - 1$

Step 1

Set $- 9 x - 1$ equal to $0$ .

$- 9 x - 1 = 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 9 x = 1$

Divide each term in $- 9 x = 1$ by $- 9$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 9 x = 1$ by $- 9$ .

$\frac{- 9 x}{- 9} = \frac{1}{- 9}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 9 x}{- 9} = \frac{1}{- 9}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{1}{- 9}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = - \frac{1}{9}$
