The intercepts of the third degree polynomial corresponds to the zeros of the equation
y = d*(x-a)*(x-b)(x-c)
Where a, b and c are the roots of the polynomial and d an adjustment coefficient.
y = d*(x+2)*(x)*(x-3)
Lets assume d = 1, and we get
y = (x+2)*(x)*(x-3) = x^3 - x^2 - 6x
We graph the equation in the attached file.
