Question

Determine the x-intercepts of the following equation.

(-x + 5)(-x - 2) = y
(-10,0
(5,0) and (-2,0)
(0,10)
(0, -10)
(5,0) and (2,0)
O(0,5) and (0, -2)​

Answer 1

(5,0) and (-2,0)

Explanation:

In order to find the x intercept, the y value has to be zero, this automatically eliminates several of the options. What you can do is plug in 0 for y and see what the answer is. If you get stuck, you can also guess and check.
