(a)[3]
Fill in the value table for $y = x^2 + 2x - 1$.
(b)[4]
On the grid, plot the graph of $y = x^2 + 2x - 1$ for $-5 \leq x \leq 3$.
(c(i))[1]
On the grid, draw the axis of symmetry.
(c(ii))[1]
Give the equation of the line of symmetry.
(d(i))[2]
On the grid, plot the points $(-5,7)$ and $(0,-3)$ and connect them with a straight line $L$.
(d(ii))[2]
State the $x$-coordinate of each point where line $L$ intersects the graph of $y = x^2 + 2x - 1$.
(d(iii))[2]
Determine the gradient of the line $L$.
