One linear function, t(x), can be modeled by the values in the table below. A second linear function can be modeled by the equation 3x − 2y + 6 = 0. When comparing the x-intercepts of these lines, which function has the largest x-intercept and what is this value?

x t(x)
−2 −15
−1 −10
0 −5
1 0
2 5
t(x) has the largest x-intercept: 1.
3x − 2y + 6 = 0 has the largest x-intercept: 3.
t(x) has the largest x-intercept: −5.
3x − 2y + 6 = 0 has the largest x-intercept: −2.

At x-intercept, y value = 0,
 
For t(x), x = 1 when y = 0, i.e. x-intercept = 1

for 3x - 2y + 6 = 0, when y = 0,
3x - 2(0) + 6 = 0
3x + 6 = 0
3x = -6
x = -6/3 = -2
i.e. x-intercept = -2

Therefore, t(x) has the highest x-intercept of 1.

That answer is wrong. the correct answer is C.
