Answer:
Graphically. As shown below, the roots of a polynomial are the values of x that make the polynomial zero, so they are where the graph crosses the x-axis, since this is where the y value (the result of the polynomial) is zero. The roots are the two green dots.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we'll find the slope of the new line. The first line has a slope of 
. Take the negative reciprocal of this (Flip the numerator and denominator, then multiply by 
) to get 
for the new slope.
Then, we'll use the point-slope form to make the new equation, where 
is the slope and 
is a point on the line:
