From the graph, any line y = k, where k < –9 will intersect the curve y =
x 1
at 2 points with negative x coordinates.
Hence, the range of values required is k < –9.

Therefore, sketch the graph of y   x on the same diagram.

(i) when  = 1, draw y = x

From graph, only one point of intersection
 one real root

(ii) when 0 <  < 1, draw y = x

From graph, two points of intersection
 two real roots
