The graph shown is \(y=x^2-6x-7\).

  1. Find
    1. \(y\) when \(x=2\),
    2. its intercepts on the \(x\)-axis, and
    3. the coordinates of its turning point \(T\).
  2. Sketch, with key features,
    1. \(y=-x^2-6x-7\), and
    2. \(y=x^2\).
  3. Another quadratic \(y=ax^2+bx+c\) passes through \((0,0),(4,0),(-2,24)\).
    1. Find \(c\).
