Question 1117979
Let x = first number
Let y = second number

In terms of x: y=2x-6

The product of x and y: {{{x(2x-6)}}}

Then expanded: 2x^2-6x

Then find the vertex: {{{x=--6/2(2)}}}

x=1.5

Then, solve for y: y=2(1.5)-6

y=-3

So, the two numbers are: (1.5,-3)
And, the smallest possible product is: 1.5(-3) = -4.5
