Interpreting Quadratic Functions in Factored Form

We want to find the zeros of the given quadratic function. Note that is it written in factored form. $$\begin{array}{rl}\text{Factored form:}& y=a(x-p)(x-q)\\ \text{Given equation:}& y=\frac{1}{3}(x-(\text{-}5))(x-1)\end{array}$$ In this form, the zeros of the function are $p$ and $q.$ Therefore, the zeros of the given function are $\text{-}5$ and $1.$
