5 (a) gradient = – 4.4 (b) gradient = 13.9 (3sf)

6 (a)(i) 4 (ii) –6 (b) x = 3.8, x = –1.8

7 (a) and (c)

(b) x = 1 and x = –1.54 (answers within the range of –1.5 to – 1.6 are acceptable)

(d) (1.7, 4.4) and (–1.2, –1.4)

(e) At the points of intersection, the two equations are equal, so:
2x2 + x – 3 = 2x + 1
If you rearrange this equation, you get 2x2 – x – 4 = 0.
