Hi,
In the question attached, for part b, why must I reject the x=-37 solution?
Thank you

Forget I even posted that :/ Thanks.
But also for part c I know that a>2 for y=ax to intersect the positive section of the graph, but how do I arrive at the other condition of a<=1.25.
Thank you

Can you not just sketch it in the original figure?
You know the line passes through the origin. So what range of gains are acceptable and how does the line intersect with the plotted mod function.

Y=2(-x-4)-5
Y=-2x-13, so the gradient is -2 hence a must be less than -2.
I don't know where to get -1.25

Literally get your pen or ruler and rotate it on the origin. When does it (and what is the condtion) intersect at least once with the mod function and what is the corresponding (range of) gradient?
Think about the sign of the gradient. Tbh, if youre making typo errors like this, its always worth sketching/verifying the values youre getting out of these type of mod questions.
