Answer:

y = x² - 10x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts are 1 and 9

A quadratic equation is of the form


y=ax^2+bx+c

When x-intercept is 1

x-intercept = (1, 0)

The factor can be written as (x - 1)

When x-intercept is 9

x -intercept = (9, 0)

The factor can be written as (x - 9)

The equation y is a multiplication of the factors

y = (x - 1)(x - 9)

Expand the equation


\begin{gathered} y=x^2-9x-x+9 \\ y=x^2-10x+9 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the quadratic equation in standard form is:

y = x² - 10x + 9
