If you mean a quadratic equation, the formula is:

x =

standard form of the quadratic equation is:

where:

a is the coefficient of the term.

b is the coefficient of the x term.

c is the constant.

You solve for x.

The y value is 0 because you set the equation equal to 0.

Your roots are:

(x,y) = (x,0) where you replace x with the values you calculated for x.

The roots can be real or imaginary.

If the roots are real, the graph of the equation crosses the x-axis at y = 0.

If the roots are not real (contain an imaginary part which is a negative square root) then the graph of the equation will not cross the x-axis.

The quadratic formula works on all quadratic equations whether the roots are real or imaginary.
