Do you have a graphing calculator?  One of those would be a good start!

anonymous · Answer

not aloud to use those

anonymous · Answer

to find the intercepts of the x and y axis
take the equation:
y=x^2+2x-80
set y equal to 0, and solve for x.
this will give you the x-intercepts

now, 
set x equal to zero, and solve for y.
this will give you the y-intercept
