Answer:

? = (x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 15x + 7 = (2x + 1) (?)

1. First you need to figure out what multiplied by 2x will give you 2x^2, which is x.

2. Then you need to find what would give you 15x. In this case because you have the 1 in (2x + 1), you already know that there is going to be an extra x. So, what times 2x gives you 14x? It's 7.

3. Lastly you need to make sure that 1 multiplied with 7 is equal to 7 and combine like terms.

4. Check: (2x + 1) (x + 7) =

2x^2 + 14x + 1x + 7 =

2x^2 + 15x + 7

Hello:
the equation is : y = ax+b
the slope is a : a×(4/3) = -1......( perpendicular to a line with a slope of 4/3) because : 4x-3y =8...y=(4/3)x-8/3 )

a = -3/4 y=(-3/4)x+b
the line that passes through (3, -2) :- 2 = (-3/4)(3)+b
b =1/4
 the equation is : y = (-3/4)x+1/4
