The graph of the curve \(y = 2x^2 - 5x - 1\) and a straight line PQ were drawn to solve the equation \(2x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0\)
What is the equation of the straight line PQ?

A.

y = -1

B.

y = 1

C.

y = 3

D.

y = -3

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is D

Let the straight line PQ = y

2x\(^2\) - 5x - 1 - y = 2x\(^2\) - 5x + 2

y = 2x\(^2\) - 5x - 1 - 2x\(^2\) + 5x - 2 

y = -3
