The coordinates (starting from left) are
(-2,-4)(-1,-3)(0,-2)(1,-1)(2,0)
to find the y..
- ur given y=x-2
- u have all the x values on the table
so say u wanna find the y for -2, just plug it into the equation y = x - 2
so then it’ll be y = (-2) - 2
the only reason u can plug in the -2 is bc the -2 is a x value
same logic for the other numbers on the table, to find the y value for -1 just plug in -1 into y = x - 2
so then it’ll be y = (-1) - 2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of movement of Jordan on his birthday forms a right angle triangle. His movement from his house to his parents due south represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. His movement due west represents the adjacent side and the movement back home along the straight line, d represents the hypotenuse. To determine d, we would apply the Pythagorean theorem. Thus
d² = 6² + 4² = 52
d = √52 = 7.2 km
The total distance that he drove on his birthday is
6 + 4 + 7.2 = 17.2 km
If complex coefficients are allowed, the answer is 3.
If the polynomial must have real coefficients, then each complex root comes as a pair of complex conjugate roots.
Root -5 is real, so that is 1 root, and degree 1.
Root 1 + 4i is complex, so it must come with its complex conjugate, 1 - 4i. This adds 2 roots to the polynomial, and now we're up to degree 3.
Root -4i is also complex. It also must come with its complex conjugate, 4i. That adds two more roots, and the degree is 5.
Answer: The least possible degree is 5 with real coefficients.
