Answer

Write the equation with the value of a: y=0.625(x+2)(x4)

Steps

Step 1 :Given x-intercepts: x1 = -2, x2 = 4 and y-intercept: y = -5

Step 2 :Factored form of quadratic equation: y = a(x - x1)(x - x2)

Step 3 :Substitute x-intercepts and y-intercept: -5 = a(0 - -2)(0 - 4)

Step 4 :Solve for a: a = 0.625

Step 5 :Write the equation with the value of a: y=0.625(x+2)(x4)
