I am trying to find the y-intercepts of $\"+x%2B2=%28y%2B1%29%5E2+\"$ all I have been able to figure out is that the vertex is (-2,-1), if you could also show me how it is done that would be great. Thank you.

\n" ); document.write( "x+2=(y+1)^2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0,then solve for \"Y\":
\n" ); document.write( "(y+1)^2 = 2
\n" ); document.write( "y+1 = +sqrt(2) or y+1 = -sqrt(2)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "y = -1+sqrt(2) or y = -1-sqrt(2)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Those are the y-intercepts of the parabola.
