For \(y=x^2-4x-5\):

  1. find missing table values \(m,n\)[2]
  2. draw the graph for \(-2\le x\le6\)[2]
  3. state its symmetry line[2]
  4. solve \(x^2-4x-5=4\) graphically[2]
  5. draw \(y=-x+1\)[2]
  6. give the positive intersection abscissa.[2]
\(x\)-\(2\)-\(1\)\(0\)\(1\)\(2\)\(3\)\(4\)\(5\)\(6\)
\(y\)\(7\)\(0\)-\(5\)-\(8\)\(m\)-\(8\)-\(5\)\(0\)\(n\)

For graph readings, give values to the nearest 0.1 unit where an exact value cannot be read from the grid. Use the labelled axes and grid provided.
