'y' intercept is math talk for x = 0
y = -5 @ x = 0

okay!
Here is the concept.
To find x intercept put Y=0 in the given equation, solve it, whatever comes the value= X intercept.
To find Y intercept, put X=0, and colve the problem , the result =y intercept.
In the above case y intercept = -5 or you can write (0, -5)

You know the function intercepts the y axis when x = 0, so plug 0 into x, which will give you -5 as the y intercept.

f(0) = -5

y= (0)^2-4(0)-5
y=0-0-5
y= -5
Just put in a 0 where there is an x and solve. Graph crosses where y= -5.
