Hope this helps you

Algebra Find the X and Y Intercepts y=square root of x
y=

x
To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x.
(0)=

x
Since x is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

x
=0
To remove the radical on the left side of the equation, square both sides of the equation.
(

x
)2=(0)2
Simplify the left side of the equation.
x=(0)2
Simplify the right side of the equation.

x=0
To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y.
y=

0
Solve the equation.
Tap for more steps...
y=0
These are the x and yintercepts of the equation y=

x
.
x-intercept: (0,0)
