Use algebra to find the x-intercepts and y-intercept of The graph of y=-x^2/5+x/5+6
this is a parabola.
Homework Equations
y=-x^2/5+x/5+6
The Attempt at a Solution
Find the y-intercept , which is substitute 0=x into the equation to find the answer , done that .
The problem I have is where to start to find the x-intercept , I know that y=0 so I now have x^2/5+x/5+6=0 , but believe I can't now factorise this equation and will have to first clear the fractions first . Is this the right place to start.
