Answer:
x intercepts -sqrt(5), + sqrt(5)
y intercept -5
Explanation:
y = x^2 -5
to find the x intercept set y=0 and solve for x
0 = x^2-5
add 5 to each side
5 = x^2
take the square root of each side
+- sqrt(5) = sqrt(x^2)
x = +-sqrt(5) there are 2 x intercepts since it is a quadratic
to find the y intercept set x=0 and solve for y
y = 0-5
y = -5
