$(y + 8) (y - 6)$ $(y+8)(y-6)$

Explanation:

We have to find two numbers whose product is $- 48$ $-48$ but at the same time, whose sum is $2$ $2$ . This is a sort of trial and error process and is not always the case; however in this example...

When we multiply $8$ $8$ and $- 6$ $-6$ we'll get $- 48$ $-48$

When we add $8$ $8$ and $- 6$ $-6$ we'll get $2$ $2$

So we have found our two numbers and we can write it factored form like so:

$(y + 8) (y - 6)$ $(y+8)(y-6)$

Note: We can check our answer by factoring out or (F.O.I.L) which should result with what you started with.
