We are told that the graph passes through (0,0) and (6,0). Since the y-coordinate of these points is 0, we know that 0 and 6 are the x-intercepts. We can partially write a quadratic function in factored form using this information. y=a(x−0)(x−6)⇔y=ax(x−6) Since the value of a does not affect the zeros, we can choose any value. For simplicity, we will choose a=1. y=1x(x−6)⇔y=x(x−6)
