All you really need to know is where the roots of the equation are, and what the shape of the curve is.
First, we set y=0:

So, either: or
x=-1,x=-1. There is a double root at x= -1.
if 2-x=0, then x=2. There is a single root at x=2.
Either one can be true because any number multiplied by zero is zero.
This is a negative cubic (because of the 2-x term). which means it starts in Quadrant 4 (the bottom-right) and moves up and left, to Quadrant 2 (top-left). It crosses the x-axis once at x=2, and then it comes down to touch the x-axis at x=2.
I don't know how to post an image in here, so if you want to see a sketch of it, send me a message.
