The steps to find the solution of the quadratic equation graphically is given by:
Step 1: Draw the graph of the equation \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\).
Step 2: (i) If the graph intersects the \(X\) - axis at only one point, the given quadratic equation has only one root or two real and equal roots.
(ii) If the graph intersects the \(X\) - axis at two distinct points, the given quadratic equation has two real and unequal roots.
(iii) If the graph does not intersect the \(X\) - axis at any point, the given equation has no real root.
