Find the zeroes of ax^2+bx = y-c
By completing the square
---
y = ax^2 + bx + c = 0
Divide by a
x^2 + (b/a)x + c/a = 0
x^2 + (b/a)x = -c/a
Make left side a square by adding (b/2a)^2
x^2 + (b/a)x + b^2/4a^2 = -c/a + b^2/4a^2
%28x+%2B+b%2F2a%29%5E2+=+b%5E2%2F4a%5E2+-+4ac%2F4a%5E2
%28x+%2B+b%2F2a%29%5E2+=+%28b%5E2+-+4ac%29%2F4a%5E2
x+%2B+b%2F2a+=+sqrt%28%28b%5E2+-+4ac%29%2F4a%5E2%29
x+%2B+b%2F2a+=+sqrt%28b%5E2+-+4ac%29%2F2a
x+=+-b%2F2a+%2B+sqrt%28b%5E2+-+4ac%29%2F2a
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28b%5E2+-+4ac%29%29%2F2a
