Answer:
a = -86.
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Factor Theorem, if x + 4 is a factor then P(-4) = 0, so:
P(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - 11(-4)^2 + a(-4)- 40 = 0
-128 - 176 - 4a - 40 = 0
-4a = 128 +176 + 40
-4a = 344
a = -86.
Equation of a line:

m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.

c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)
You have:

so you are missing the m and the c.
To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12,
<u>7</u>) and (0, <u>
1</u>)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (<u>
12</u>, 7) and (<u>
0</u>, 1)- This gives:



To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:

When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:
Answer:
(4, 2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Its a line plot, for every number that is listed put a mark above the number on the number line. So if there was 3 6's, on the number line above the 6, put 3 marks like dots or x's to represent the amount of 6.
Hope you understand.
