You can put this solution on YOUR website! You want some function  , and expect zeros would then be to make  a true statement. The zeros will be s and r.
That was simple and very general. You have specific values given as your expected zeros; being -2, and -5.

Write the quadratic function in standard form that has two zeros where x = ‒2 and x = ‒5.
One of the zeroes/roots is: x = - 2, which means that x + 2 is a factor. The other zero/root is - 5, which makes the other factor, x + 5.
We then get the quadratic function: f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 5), or
