because when you put them in original equation , u will get zero
like eg
x^2 +7x+6
the zero's of this eq are (x+6)(x+1)
means -1 and -6 , hence put this in equation and tell me that do u get zero or not

It's what the x-values are going to be when y=0.

(x+2)(x+3).  x=-2 and -3 when y =0.   Therefore, (-3,0) (-2,0)
