Quadratic Graph: Intercepts and Symmetry

Quadratic Graph: Intercepts and Symmetry

Secondary 2

The diagram shows the graph of \(y={{x}^{2}}+x-6\). The graph cuts the \(x\)-axis at points \(A\) and \(B\), and the \(y\)-axis at \(C\).

  1. Find the coordinates of \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\).
  2. The point \(D\left( -5,h \right)\) lies on the curve. Find the value of \(h\).
  3. The equation of the line of symmetry.
