Hello!

The y intercept of the parabola is when one of it's function's hits/intersects the y axis. The y intercept of the parabola y = x^2 is (0,0).

You may be wondering where is that, and why is it there. Y = x^2 is a parent function.

Check the image below for better explanation from me.

(0,0) = y - intercept
