Answer 1

Answer:

Y-intercept: (0, -10)

X-intercepts: (5,0), (1,0)

Axis of symmetry: (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell what the y-intercept is by looking at the function. At the end there is a “-10”, which indicates that it’s the y-intercept.

There are many ways to find x-intercepts. You can factor the function, use the quadratic formula, or complete the square.

By factoring it, you get

-2(x-5)(x-1)=0

If one part of it equals zero, than the whole function equals zero.

So it can be split up like this

(x-5)=0

(x-1)=0

So...

x=5 and x=1 are the the zeros or (5,0) and (1,0)

Finally, you convert the function from standard form to vertex form. By doing -b/2a, you can find the x-coordinate of the vertex, which is the axis of symmetry. The answer is 3 or (3,0) because -12/2(-2)= 3.
