x intercepts are (-1,0) and (-11,0)

This can be shortened to "x intercepts are -1 and -11" since in every case, the y value is always 0 for any x intercept. There's no need to state the y coordinate since it's always 0.

We find this by solving (x+1)(x+11) = 0 for x using the zero product property

(x+1)(x+11) = 0

x+1 = 0 or x+11 = 0

x = -1 or x = -11

=================================

The y intercept is (0,11).

This is the result of computing y = (0)^2+12(0)+11. Due to how easy it is to work with 0, we basically just erase the (0)^2+12(0) portion and we're left with 11 as our y intercept. This means you can erase the x^2+12x portion of the original equation to get the same result.
