Changing the order may not affect the answer in some situation, however it's not a rule.
Answer:
(x + 6)(x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 2x - 24
(x + 6)(x - 4)
-4 and +6 multiply to 24 and add to +2.
Hint : The product of the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other is - 1 .
______________________________
In slope-intercept ( y = ax + b ) from of the linear equations the coefficient of x is the slope of the line.
Thus :
Slope of line a = - 14
______________________________
Suppose that the slope of line b is x according to the Hint we have :
- 14 × x = - 1
negatives simplify
14x = 1
Divide both side by 14
14x ÷ 14 = 1 ÷ 14
x = 1/14
So the slope of line b is 1/14
_____________________________
Now let's find the equation of line b by point-slope formula using the point question have us ( 2 , 6 ) :
y - y( given point ) = Slope × ( x - x ( g p ) )
y - 6 = 1/14 × ( x - 2 )
y - 6 = 1/14 x - 2/14
y - 6 = 1/14 x - 1/7
Add both sides 6
y - 6 + 6 = 1/14 x - 1/7 + 6
y = 1/14 x - 1/7 + 42/7
y = 1/14 x + 41/7
And we're done ...
