Answer:

y = -2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the x intercept and a line perpendicular to the one we are trying to find.

Perpendicular deals with the slope.  Perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, or in other words, if the slope is m the negative reciprocal is -1/m.

the slope of the perpendicular line is 1/2 so that means the negative reciprocal is -2.

x intercept is when y=0, so the point is (-2, 0).  So that means the equation to make this point with the slope of -2 will look like this

y = mx + b

0 = -2*-2 + b

-4 = b

Now to get into the line we just plug in m and b into y = mx + b

y = mx + b

y = -2x - 4

And to check if you plug in -4 you'll get y = 0

2y to the 2nd power +11y +14
goldfiish [28.3K]

2y^2 +11y+14 =(2y+7)(y+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2y^2 +11y+14

=2y^2 +(7+4)y+14

=2y^2+7y+4y+14

= y(2y+7) + 2(2y+7)

=(2y+7)(y+2)
