To find the zeros of the quadratic equation \( y = -3x^2 + 12x + 15 \), we can set the equation to zero and solve for \( x \):

\[
-3x^2 + 12x + 15 = 0
\]

To simplify the equation, we can divide everything by -3:

\[
x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0
\]

Next, we can factor the quadratic:

\[
(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0
\]

Setting each factor to zero gives us the possible solutions:

\[
x - 5 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 5
\]
\[
x + 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -1
\]

Thus, the zeros of the quadratic equation are \( x = 5 \) and \( x = -1 \).

In coordinate notation, the zeros are:

\[
(-1, 0) \quad \text{and} \quad (5, 0)
\]

Therefore, the correct response would be:

**(−1, 0) and (5, 0)**.
