Question

What are the x intercepts for `y − x^2 = −6x − 7`?

Answer 1

You can find the intercepts by selling `y=0` in your equation and solving for `x` the second degree equation:
`x^2-6x-7=0`
`x_(1,2)=(6+-sqrt(36-4(1*-7)))/(2*1)=(6+-8)/2`
`x_1=7`
`x_2=-1`

Your intercepts will be:
`(7,0)`
`(-1,0)`
