Q. Find the y-intercept of the parabola y=x2−527. Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer._____
Substitute x=0: Substitute x=0 into the equation y=x2−527.y=(0)2−527y=0−527y=−527
Find y-intercept: The y-intercept of the parabola is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, which occurs at x=0. Therefore, the y-coordinate of the y-intercept is the value we just calculated.
