Write the equation of the following graph in intercept form.

The graph opens up, so “a” must be positive. This rules out choices 1 and 4. Next, find the zeroes (areas where y is 0) and see which ones match the graph.

I’ll start with option 2.
(x-2)=0
(add 2 to both sides)
x=2

(x+5)=0
(subtract 5 from both sides
x=-5

Judging by the graph, option 2 has the opposite of the zeroes needed, and thus option 3 will be the correct choice.

If you want to check option 3 further though...

(x+2)=0
x=-2

(x-5)=0
x=5

These are the correct zeroes. Option 3 is correct.

Ican't solve. your equation is impossible. you can't have two equal signs.
