and I have NO idea where to start.
How do I convert the information given into an equation I can actually work with to find the solutions to the graph?
I've asked everywhere!
Thanks in advance,

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The referred image just shows a parabola graph and a three part question, only requiring you to read the graph. No equation is necessary to find. The solutions will be taken directly from the graph.

The questions are that y is various values; find x.

y=0; What is x?
Examine the graph where y=0. Read the two values for x where the graph crosses the x axis. These appear to be at x=-1.50 and at x=-2.50.

There are two more "questions", and maybe you now have the confidence to find these answers from the graph.
