How do I find the x-intercepts of the graph of #y=x^2-3x-10#? Precalculus Geometry of a Parabola Graphing Parabolas 1 Answer Ernest Z. Jul 9, 2015 You set #y = 0# and solve for #x#. #y = x^2-3x-10 = 0# #(x-5)(x+2) = 0# #x-5 = 0# or #x+2 = 0# #x = 5# or #x = -2# The #x#-intercepts are at (#5,0#) and (#-2,0#).
