X^2 - 2X - Y^2=4

(1)^2 - 2(1) -y^2=4,,
1 - 2 -y^2 = 4,,
(-1) - y^2 = 4,,
-y^2 = 5,,

(-1)^2 - 2(-1) -y^2=4,,
1 +2 - y^2 =4..
3 - y^2 = 4..
-y^2 = 1..
y^2 = (-1)..

I know this exhibits x-axis, and y-axis symmetry. however, I believe it is not because I have obtained an equivent equation by replacing a postive value with a negative. I believe it is because of obtaining the irrational solution. Is this correct to think along these lines? Am I choosing incorrect values maybe, to test for symmetry?
Thank you kindly " once again."
