Since we know one root, which is -3, we can use synthetic division to find (x+3) would need to be multiplied by to get the original polynomial. Then, we factor the quadratic to find the other two factors, which are 1/2 and -2
Could someone please explain how to plot the x-intercept of the first equation and what the answer would be?

<em>For</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>attached</em><em> </em><em>image</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>note</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>slope</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>thing</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>gradient</em><em>.</em>
1) y = 2x + 4
2) Substituting in x = 1 and y = 1,
1 = 4(1) + c
1 = 4 + c
c = -3
So, the equation is y = 4x - 3
