To find x intercepts you set the equation equal to zero and solve for x.
factor the equation

add 40 to each side

subtract 20 from each side

So the x intercepts are (40,0) and (-20,0).
To find the y intercept you plug in x=0 into the equation and solve for y.
So the y intercept is (0, -800).
To find the x coordinate of the vertex you use the formula Then to find the y coordinate of the vertex, you plug in 10 into the equation and solve for y.
So the vertex is at (10,-900).
Plot x and y intercepts and the vertex and smoothly connect the dots.
