Its vertex is (0,7)(0,7)
Its Y- intercept is also (0,7)(0,7)
Its X-intercepts are (1.87, 0); (-1.87,0)(1.87,0);(1.87,0)

Explanation:

Given -

y=y=2x^2-7y=y=2x27

We shall have it as

y=2x^2+0x-7y=2x2+0x7

Vertex

x=(-b)/(2a)=(-0)/2 xx 2=0/4=0x=b2a=02×2=04=0

At x=0 x=0

y=2(0)^2-7=7y=2(0)27=7

Its vertex is (0,7)(0,7)

Its Y- intercept is also (0,7)(0,7)

X intercept

At y=0y=0

2x^2-7=02x27=0
x^2=7/2=3.5x2=72=3.5
x=+-sqrt(3.5x=±3.5
x=1.87x=1.87
x=-1.87x=1.87

Its X-intercepts are (1.87, 0); (-1.87,0)(1.87,0);(1.87,0)
