For the function y=x^2 - 5x - 6
(a) find the vertex
(b) find the y-intercept
(c) find the x-intercepts
(leave your answers in simplified radical form or, where appropriate, round to the nearest hundredth.)

a. Vertex = (2.5,-12.25)

b. y-intercept = (0,-6)

c. x-intercept = (6,0) ; (-1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Your equation is written as:

The easiest way to find the vertex is writing the equation this way:

Being the vertex (h,k)

So first complete the square

Vertex : (2.5,-12.25)

b.

To find the y-intercept you need to replace the equation when x = 0 and get y

c.

To find the x-intercept you need to replace the equation when y = 0 and get x

x-3y=4
