It's a parabola, and:

 

y = (x-4) (x-2),

 

x=4 and,

x=2

1) To find the y-intercept, x should be equal to zero

2) To find x intercept, y should be equal to zero. To find x intercepts in quadratic equations you can use the formula

                               x = (-b±√b^2-4*a*c)/2*a

 

3) Vertex here you find with this formula x = -b/2a (your equation is of the form ax^2+bx+c). After you ave obtained your x value from this formula, just input it into your original equation to obtain the y value of vertex

 

So,

 

1) y = 0^2-6*0+8 = 0-0+8  = 8                                                                                                  (y intercept is at 8)

2) x = (-(-6)±√(-6)^2-4*1*8)/2*1 = (6±√4)/2 = (6+2)/2 and (6-2)/2 = 4 and 2                            (c intercepts are at 4 and 2)

3) x = (-(-6))/2*1 = 3

    y = 3^2-6*3+8 = 9-18+8 = -1                                                                                                (vertex has coordinates (3,-1))
