y=2 x −5 x−3
y 15 4 -3 p -5 0 9 22

No Question Answer
1 Find the value of p.
2 Using a scale of 2 cm for 1 unit on the x-axis and
2 cm for 5 units on the y-axis, draw the graph for
-2  x  5 on a piece of graph paper.
(You can use desmo to check how the graph
looks like.)
3 Find the values of x when y = 5.
