How do I find the values of....

Im really stuck on this question i have in my core 1 maths book. Ive searched throughout the chapter on how to do it but cannot find an answer.
The question is;

The curve C with equation y = x^2 + px + q, where p and q are intergers, passes through A and B coordinates. Find the values of p and q

A(-3,-2) B(2,3)

I have no idea where to start. Help will greatly apprietated.

Dear StevieGwonder,

Since the curve passes through the two points A and B, the equation must satisfy those points. That is,





Hope you can continue.

Awsome! Thanks very much, carried on from there and got the right answers! Thank you very much!
