To determine which one is the graph of the equation:


y=(3)/(2)x^2-6x

We can finc the x-intercepts of the equations, we know that this happens when y=0, then we have:


(3)/(2)x^2-6x=0

Solving for x we have:


\begin{gathered} (3)/(2)x^2-6x=0 \\ x((3)/(2)x-6)=0 \\ \text{then} \\ x=0 \\ or \\ (3)/(2)x-6=0 \\ (3)/(2)x=6 \\ x=(2)/(3)\cdot6 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}

This means that the the graph have to cross the x axis in the values x=0 and x=4.

Looking at the options we notice that the only graph that do this is option B, therefore the gaprh of the equation is shown on B.
