You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do I determine the graph of the quadratic equation y = -10x^2 + 9
----
y-intercept = ?
Let x = 0, then y = 9 gives you point (0,9)
----
x-intercepts = ?
Let y = 0,
Then -10x^2 + 9 = 0
x^2 = 9/10
x = +/- sqrt(9/10)
----
Gives you points: (sqrt(9/10),0) and (-sqrt(9/10),0)
-----
Plot those intercepts and draw a parabola thru them:
