Answer:

y = (5/9)(x -2)(x +6)

Explanation:

When a polynomial has a zero (p, 0), it has a factor (x -p).

The given zeros mean the factored form of the equation will be ...

y = a(x -2)(x +6)

The given point will mean the value of 'a' will satisfy ...

(x, y) = (3, 5)

5 = a(3 -2)(3 +6) = 9a

a = 5/9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of 'a'

The factored equation is ...

y = (5/9)(x -2)(x +6)
