Answer:
(2x² + 5x + 2) = (2x + 1)(x +2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is (2x² + 5x + 2).
We have to factorize the given expression.
(2x²+ 5x + 2) = 2x² + 4x + x + 2
= 2x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2)
= (2x + 1)(x + 2)
So the factored form of the given expression will be (2x + 1)(x + 2).
Y = mx + c
7= (-5)(-2)+ c
7= 10 +c
7-10=c
-3=c
Equation of the line: y = -5x-3
Sub in (a, 2)
2= - 5(a)-3
2+3= -5a
5= - 5a
1= - a
A = -1
