    ( - 2, 0), (1, 0)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    y = - 4x² - 4x + 8

    To find the x - intercepts let y = 0, that is

    - 4x² - 4x + 8 = 0 (divide all terms by - 4)

    x² + x - 2 = 0 ← in standard form

    (x + 2) (x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

    Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

    x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

    x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

    Thus the x - intercepts are ( - 2, 0), (1, 0)
