y=(x+a)(x+b)
intersect x-axis means y=0
thus x=-a,-b
a)a+b = -1
one eqn, 2 variables. insufficient
b)(0,-6) is a point.
thus ab=-6
one eqn, 2 variables. insufficient
a&b together) a+b=-1 ab=-6
a=-3,b=2
points (-3,0) (2,0)
Sufficient
IMO C

case 1 : a+b= -1 so infinite possibilities for a and b
case 2 : -6 = (0+a)(0+b) ab = -6 even here we have many possibilities

case 1 and 2 : only 2 and -3 satisfy the equation

so the two points are(-2,0) and (3,0) Sufficient

answer is C
