**Problem 8: Finding the x-intercepts of the Graph of a Quadratic Equation**

Given the quadratic equation: \( y = x^2 - 11x + 18 \)

**Objective:** Identify the correct pair of x-intercepts from the given options.

**Options:**
- a. (2, 9)
- b. (3, 5)
- c. (-3, -5)
- d. (-2, -9)

**Graph Analysis:**

There are four graphs provided, each depicting a quadratic function with the characteristic parabolic shape. They have been plotted on a coordinate grid ranging from -10 to 10 on both x and y axes. Each parabola corresponds to one of the given options and shows where the graph intersects the x-axis, which represents the x-intercepts.

1. **Graph a:** The parabola intersects the x-axis at points corresponding to the values shown in option a.
2. **Graph b:** The parabola intersects the x-axis at points corresponding to the values shown in option b.
3. **Graph c:** The parabola intersects the x-axis at points corresponding to the values shown in option c.
4. **Graph d:** The parabola intersects the x-axis at points corresponding to the values shown in option d.

**Task:** By examining the graphs, determine which pair of x-intercepts is correct for the quadratic function \( y = x^2 - 11x + 18 \). Remember, the x-intercepts are the points where the parabola crosses the x-axis (i.e., where \( y = 0 \)).
