Given

Divide it by (x+1) using synthetic division, as shown below
The green line is a minus sign.
Thus,

Therefore, since the remainder is different than zero, (x+1) is not a factor of 4x^2+2x-5
Answer:
y = 3x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is linear and expressed in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given (0, - 2 ) then c = - 2
Calculate the multiplier using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1,1) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m =
= 3, hence
y = 3x - 2 ← equation relating x and y
If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, we need to write one of the equation to an <span>expression equivalent to y. Let us say the second equation, we write it as follows:
</span><span>6x – 3y = –3
-3y = -6x - 3
y = 2x + 1
We substitute the equation to the first given equation as follows:
</span><span>2x – 5y = –3
</span>2x – 5(2x + 1) = –3
2x - 10x - 5 = -3
-8x = 2
x = -1/4
y = 2(-1/4) + 1 = 1/2
