Find the x and y intercepts:
Factor to find the x intercepts
(x+8)(x+2)
x + 8 = 0
x = -8
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x intercepts:
x = -2
x = -8
Find the y intercept
Hence, C. Graph A best represents the quadratic function
A line parallel to the given one will have the same slope, 0.5. For the purpose here, it is convenient to start with a point-slope form of the equation, then simplify. For slope m and point (h, k), the equation of the line can be written as
... y = m(x -h) +k
We have m=0.5, (h, k) = (-9, 12), so the equation is ...
... y = 0.5(x +9) +12
... y = 0.5x +16.5
