Y=x-1 as the general line equation is y=x
You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:
3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0
Hold the 3 for later re-insertion. Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.
1. Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it: 2 divided by 2 is 1
2. Square this result: 1^2 = 1
3. Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
x^2 +2x
4 Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1: x^2 + 2x + 1 -3 -1 = 0,
or x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5. Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:
(x+1)^2 - 4 = 0
We have "completed the square." We can stop here. or, we could solve for x: one way would be to factor the left side:
[(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0 The solutions would then be:
x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3. (you were not asked to do this).

Answer:
y = -4/3 x - 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -4/3 x + b
5 = -4/3 (-4) + b
15 = 16 + 3b
b = -1/3
y = -4/3 x - 1/3
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2 | 2 2 - 2 4
↓ - 4 4 - 4
--------------------------
2 - 2 2 0 ← remainder
Since the remainder = 0 then (x + 2) is a factor
quotient = 2x² - 2x + 2
