Thread: finding X & Y intercepts

I have the following problem:

(X+5)^2+(Y-2)^2=20

for x I got X=-1 or X=9

For Y I solved
Y= 2 square root -5 or Y= -2 square rt -5

then im supposed to see if the y- axis and x axis is symetrical or the origin? Then justify it I'm unsure how to procede.
Any help would be appreciated

I agree with your solution to the intercepts, but I disagree with your solution to the intercepts.

Make and solve for ...






.


This does not have a real solution, so it does not cross the axis.

thanks the Y intercept I was unsure of.
