Examples of zeros of a linear function?

The zero of a linear function in algebra is the value of the independent variable (x) when the value of the dependent variable (y) is zero. Linear functions that are horizontal do not have a zero because they never cross the x-axis. Algebraically, these functions have the form y = c, where c is a constant. All other linear functions have one zero.

For example, if your equation is 3x + 11y = 6, you would substitute zero for y, the term 11y would drop out of the equation and the equation would become 3x = 6

x = 2
