a) From the graph, we need to find the intercepts.

When x=0 we get y=0

Hence, the y-intercept is (0,0).

When y=0, we get x= -3, and x=3

Hence, the y-intercept is (-3,0) and (3,0).

b) To determine whether the function has symmetry about x-axis, y-axis, or origin:

We know that

If whenever (x,y) is on the graph, then so is (-x,-y), the graph has the symmetry about the origin.

This function has, (3,0) and (-3,0)

So, the function is symmetry about the origin.
