Answer:

B. (-2, 0) and (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be factored as ...

y = 2(x^2 +x -2) = 2(x +2)(x -1)

The x-intercepts are the values of x where y=0, so will be the values of x that make one or the other of the binomial factors zero:

x = -2

x = 1

Then the intercept points are (-2, 0) and (1, 0). . . . . . . . . matches choice B
