What are the x- and y-intercepts of the quadratic equation y = (x - 3)2 - 25? Identify the x-intercepts by graphing the quadratic equation

Question

anonymous · Answer

Simplify the equation to get y=2x-31.Rearrange to get 2x-y=31.Now divide on both sides by 31 to get 2x/31+(-y/31)=1.Simplify more to x/(31/2)+y/(-31).Now compare it to x/a+y/b=1 which is the intercept form to get x intercept as 31/2 and y intercept as -31

y=0 to find x-intercepts
this is difference of 2 squares
(x-3-5)(x-3+5)=0
(x-8)(x+2)=0
x=8,-2

@Dockworker you put y=0 you then get (x-3)2-25=0 which means x=31/2
