The vertex of a parabola in the form is located at the point (,)

For your , , , and , so the x-coordinate of the vertex is , and the y-coordinate of the vertex is , so you can say that the vertex is located at: (,)

The intercepts are where , so solve .

Factor:


or => intercepts at (2,0) and (-3,0)
