Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope-intercept form:
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Looking at the graph, you can find the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where x equals 0:
To find the slope, take any two points from the line:
Use the slope formula for when you have two points:
The rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change of the x-axis. Insert the appropriate values:
Simplify parentheses (two negatives makes a positive):
Simplify (two negatives make a positive):
The slope is 
and the y-intercept is 
. Insert these into the equation:
Finito.
Um your picture wont show do it again
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and
, then we can write it as
courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields
which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.
So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use
as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial
so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.
Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
