Given the two curves y1 and y2, verify the two curves intersect at (-5,0) and (2,0)

y1 = -3x2- 9x + 30 , y2 = x2 + 3x - 10Equate two curves ( y1 = y2 )Obtain following simplified quadratic: x2 + 3x + 10 = 0Factorise to obtain ( x + 5 ) ( x - 2 ) = 0 and correct x values x = -5 , x = 2From x values verify y = 0 in both cases
