To graph , plug in a series of 'x' values to find the corresponding y values (eg plug in x=3 to get giving the point (3,-3)). Once you have a series of points, you will get a parabola. Another way to do it is to find the vertex and then find points on either side of the vertex.

To find the y-intercept, plug in x=0 and solve for y.

To find the x-intercept, plug in y=0 and solve for x. To do this, either factor or use the quadratic formula.
