y = a(x  + 1.5)^2 - 12.5

y intercept is (0,-8) so:-

-8 = a(0+1.5)^2 - 12.5

-8 = 2.25a - 12.5

a =  4.5/ 2.25 = 2

so we have  

y  = 2 ( x +1.5)^2 - 12.5

solving for x  when y = 0:-

(x + 1.5)^2 = 12.5/2 = 6.25

taking sqrt's  x + 1.5  = +/- 2.5

x =  -4,   1

so the x intercepts are (-4,0) and (1,0)
