Question 3564: i asked a question earlier that was answered by longjonsilver but i said the wrong numbers, i said (0,2) when it should have been (2,0)so here it is again;
``Here is a tricky question i think you may have trouble with.
A graph is in the form of X(squared)+PX+Q=0 , where P and Q are numbers.
Find P and Q if two points on the graph are (2,0) and (-3,-5).

do exactly what i did last time...you will get 2 equations: 2p+q=-4 and -3p+q=-14, i think.

Add these together to find p, which is 2. Then find q as -8...i believe.
