You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of a quadratic function with x-intercepts(2,0) and (-7,0) and y-intercept (0,5)
----
Using the x-intercept information:
y = a(x-2)(x+7)
---
Use the y-intercept information to find "a":
5 = a(-2)(7)
a = -5/14
----
Equation:
y = (-5/14)(x-2)(x+7)
