Answer:
line l: x = -1
line m: x = 6
line n: y = 4
line p: y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
All of these lines are parallel to either to y or x axis, so the slope is either zero or undefined. This means all you have to do is set x or y equal to the x intercept or y intercept. For lines that go vertically, they always have the same x coordinate and any y coordinate you put in will make a point that is on the line. The same thing with the horizontal lines, except they all have the same y coordinate and any x coordinate will make a point that is on that line.
All you have to do is set x or y, depending on which way the line is going, equal to the point is goes through on the axis it travels through, no need to worry about slope or y = mx + b.

Answer: C) Sometimes positive; sometimes negative
============================================================
Explanation:
Pick a value between x = -1 and x = 0. Let's say we go for x = -0.5
Plug this into f(x)
f(x) = x(x+3)(x+1)(x-4)
f(-0.5) = -0.5(-0.5+3)(-0.5+1)(-0.5-4)
f(-0.5) = -0.5(2.5)(0.5)(-4.5)
f(-0.5) = 2.8125
We get a positive value.
This shows that f(x) is positive on the region of -1 < x < 0
----------------
Now pick a value between x = 0 and x = 4. I'll use x = 1
f(x) = x(x+3)(x+1)(x-4)
f(1) = 1(1+3)(1+1)(1-4)
f(1) = 1(4)(2)(-3)
f(1) = -24
Therefore, f(x) is negative on the interval 0 < x < 4
----------------
In short, f(x) is both positive and negative on the interval -1 < x < 4
It's positive when -1 < x < 0
And it's negative when 0 < x < 4
