Now, the "only" thing that remains to do is solving the above equation.
While making this problem I only made sure it has a solution. I didn't try to solve it myself and I didn't know it will end up with such "convoluted" polynomial. Sorry to everyone who tried to solve it... m(_ _)m
I think the best way to approach it is using the rational root theorem since we know that . Moreover we can deduce that
since there is
and
.
After you succesfully solve it, you should get the answer .
The graph of the linear equation can be seen in the image below.

Here we have the linear equation:
y = -4x + 8
And we want to find 3 ordered pairs, to do so, we need to evaluate x in different values.
if x = 0 then:
y = -4*0 + 8 = 8
So we have the ordered pair (0, 8).
if x = 1 then:
y = -4*1 + 8 = 4
Then we have the ordered pair (1, 4)
If x = 2 then:
y = -4*2 + 8 = 0
Then we have the ordered pair (2, 0).
Now that we have these 3 ordered pairs, we can graph them in a coordinate axis and then connect them with a line, we will get something like the graph below.
That is the graph of our linear equation:
