y=+sqrt%283-x%29
For the x intercept, let y=0
0=+sqrt%283-x%29
Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root
0%5E2=+sqrt%283-x%29%5E2
This gives you:
0=3-x
Subtract 3 from both sides
-3=-x
Divide by -1
3=x
To solve the y intercept, let x=0
y=+sqrt%283-0%29
y=+sqrt%283%29
The x intercept is: (3,0)
The y intercept is: (0,sqrt+%283%29)
