Explain everything you know about y=x^2-5x-6

y = x^2 -5x-6 is a quadratic equation.

On a graph, rather than a straight line, this type of equation forms what is known as a parabola, which means it goes one direction and then makes almost like a U-turn.

The point in which the parabola (as mentioned before) changes direction is called the vertex.

Specifically, y = x^2 -5x-6 has exactly 2 solutions. This means that there are 2 different possible answers to this equation.

The solutions, or roots, to this equation are x= 6 and x= -1.

If you look at the graph for this equation, the parabola opens upwards like a U, and the vertex is ( 5/2, -49/4).

the solution is h=10 because you add 9 to each side of the equation.
