Circle 1: Letting y = 0 to solve for the x-int, we get . This equation has no solution, hence there are no x-intercepts.
Letting x = 0 to find the y-int, we get. The only solution is y =-3.Thus the y-intercept is (0,-3).
Circle 2: Let y = 0 to find the x-int. Then . The solutions to this are . These are also the x-intercepts.
Let x = 0 to find the y-int. Then . This equation has no real roots. Therefore there are no y-intercepts.
