Factoring a quadratic allows you to solve the x and y intercepts.
The x-intercepts in the factored form are the inverse of the constants.
The y-intercept is the product of the x-intercepts multipied together.
Example:
x²-10x-24 = (x+2)(x-12)
+2 and -12 are the constants. So ur x-intercepts are (-2,0) (12,0).
The y intercept is -24 because -2 X 12 = -24.

Can you solve a quadratic equation without factoring?
using the quadratic formula or the graphics calculator. Yes, you can do it another way, by using a new method, called Diagonal Sum Method, that can quickly and directly give the 2 roots, without having to factor the equation. This method is fast, convenient and is applicable to any quadratic equation in standard form ax^2 +bx + c = 0, whenever it can be factored. It requires fewer permutations than the factoring method does, especially when the constants a, b, and c are large numbers. If this method fails to get answer, then consequently, the quadratic formula must be used to solve the given equation. It is a trial-and-error method, same as the factoring method, that usually takes fewer than 3 trials to solve any quadratic equation. See book titled:" New methods for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford Publishing 2009)
Can all quadratics be solved by completing the square?
Completing the square is one method for solving a quadratic equation. A quadratic equation can also be solved by factoring, using the square roots or quadratic formula. Solving quadratic equations by completing the square will always work when solving quadratic equations-You can also use division or even simply take a GCF, set the quantities( ) equal to zero, and subtract or add to solve for the variable
Which part of the quadratic formula tells you whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring?
Here are two ways to know if a given quadratic equations can be factored (can be solved by factoring). 1. Calculate the Discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac. When D is a perfect square (its square root is a whole number), then the given equation can be factored. 2. Solve the equation by using the new Diagonal Sum method (Amazon e-book 2010). This method directly finds the 2 real roots without having to factor the equation. Solving usually requires fewer than 3 trials. If this method fails to get the answer, then we can conclude that the equation can not be factored, and consequently the quadratic formula must be used.
