 A parabola has two x intercepts at (-2 , 0) and (3 , 0) and passes through the point (5 , 10)

A parabola has two x intercepts at (-2 , 0) and (3 , 0) and passes through the point (5 , 10). Find the equation of this parabola

Answer:y = a(x + 2)(x - 3) : equation of the parabola in factored form
10 = a(5 + 2)(5 - 2) : (5 , 10) is a point on the graph of the parabola and therefore satisfies the equation of the parabola.
a = 5/7: solve the above equation for a.
