Q. Factor.

\newline

y^{2}+6 y-7

Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the Coefficients $\newline$ Reasoning: Check out the numbers in front of the variables and the constant term. $\newline$ Calculation: Coefficients are $1$ (for $y^2$ ), $6$ (for $y$ ), and $-7$ (constant).
Find Factors: Step Title: Find the Factors $\newline$ Reasoning: Need two numbers that multiply to $-7$ (the constant) and add up to $6$ (coefficient of $y$ ). $\newline$ Calculation: Factors of $-7$ that add up to $6$ are $7$ and $-1$ .
Write Factored Form: Step Title: Write the Factored Form $\newline$ Reasoning: Use the factors to write the expression in a factored form. $\newline$ Calculation: The factored form is $(y + 7)(y - 1)$ .
