12 The equation of a curve is $$( x + y ) ^ { 2 } = 4 y + 2 x + 8$$ The curve intersects the positive \(x\)-axis at the point \(P\).
12
  1. Show that the gradient of the curve at \(P\) is \(- \frac { 3 } { 2 }\)
    12
  2. Find the equation of the normal to the curve at \(P\), giving your answer in the form \(a x + b y = c\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers.
