Answer:

$x = 5 \\ x = - 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} - 2x = 15 \\ {x}^{2} - 2x - 15 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + 3x - 5x - 15 = 0 \\ x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0 \\ (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0 \\ x - 5 = 0 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: x + 3 = 0 \\ x = 5 \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: \: x = - 3$

Answer:

it would be Y= -2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin, we know that the b value is 4, because that is the x-intercept that is information given, so we can atomatically put that in.

Next we need to find the m value, which can be found by knowing the rules of a perpendicular eqution. to change it you must change the 1/2 and flip the equation and change the signs

soooooo 1/2 would change into 2/1 which is 2 and we would addd the negative sign so

Y=-2x+4
