Question 301937: How do you create a quadratic equation using 2 points already given to you?

If it's 2 points at random, it's not possible. 3 non-colinear points are necessary.
------------
If the 2 points are the intersections with the same axis, eg:
(3,0) and (5,0) then
(x-3)*(x-5) = 0
----------------------
(a,0) and (b,0) --> (x-a)*(x-b) = 0
