Answer:
x - intercepts are (-7,0) and (-2,0)
A is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the equation of the parabola 
For x- intercept, y = 0

We can split the middle term as 9x = 7x +2x

Now take GCF

Factored out the common term

Apply the zero product property

Solve for x

Hence, x - intercepts are (-7,0) and (-2,0)
A is the correct option.
Answer:
The image shows the graph for given function.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:

It is clear function is an exponential function and have shape similar to exponential function.
An exponential function is of the form:
,
where b is a parameter of the function and read as b raised to the power x.
The exponential function enjoys the following properties:
- If 0 < b < 1, then the graph decreases as we move from left to right.
- If b > 1, then the graph will increase as we move from left to right.
