The following is an incomplete table for the relation \(y = 2x^{2} - 5x + 1\)

x-3-2-1012345
y81-126

(a) Copy and complete the table.

(b) Using a scale of 2cm to 1 unit on the x- axis and 2cm to 10 units on the y- axis, draw the graph of the relation \(y = 2x^{2} - 5x + 1\) for \(-3 \leq x \leq 5\).

(c) Using the same scale and axes, draw the graph of \(y = x + 6\).

(d) Estimate from your graphs, correct to one decimal place : (i) the least value of y and the value of x for which it occurs ; (ii) the solution of the equation \(2x^{2} - 5x + 1 = x + 6\).
