$x = 2/3 and x =-4$ are the $x$ -intercepts

The $x$ intercepts are the points where the parabola crosses the $x$ -axis.

All along the $x$ -axis, $y=0$ . This gives us the equation:

$3x^2+10x-8=0" "larr$ factorise and solve for $x$

$(3x-2)(x+4)=0$

Set each factor equal to $0$

$3x-2=0" "rarr 3x=2" "rarr x= 2/3$

$x+4=0" "rarr x= -4$
