Answer

Horizontal intercepts: $(3,0),\ (6,0)$ Vertical intercept: $(0,6)$

Work Step by Step

We know that the graph of a parabola crosses the $x$-axis at the horizontal intercept where the $y$ value is zero. Hence, we can read the horizontal intercept directly from the table as $ (3,0)$ and $(6,0)$. Similarly, at the vertical intercept, the value of $x$ is zero. The vertical intercept is $(0,9)$.
