X + 2y = -4
-x -x
2y = -x - 4
Divide all by 2
y = -x/2 - 2
y = (-1/2)x - 2
Assuming a and b are parallel
<5 = <9 false
<1 = <12 false
<1 = <8 true
<3 = <7 true
I would say 2.5 because that would be exactly in the middle
The factored form of the related polynomial is (x - 1)(x - 9)
<h3>How to determine the
factored form of the related polynomial?</h3>
In this question, the given parameter is the attached graph
From the graph, we can see that the curve crosses the x-axis at two different points
These points are the zeros of the polynomial function.
From the graph, the points are
x = 1 and x = 9
Set these points to 0
x - 1 = 0 and x - 9 = 0
Multiply the above equations
(x - 1)(x - 9) = 0
Remove the equation
(x - 1)(x - 9)
Hence, the factored form of the related polynomial is (x - 1)(x - 9)
