%28x+-+4%29%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+=+25
The x-intercept occurs when y = 0
%28x+-+4%29%5E2+%2B+0+=+25
x+-+4+=+0+%2B-+sqrt%2825%29
x+-+4+=+%2B5 and
x+-+4+=+-5
x+=+9 and x+=+-1 are the x-intercepts
The y-intercept occurs when x = 0
%280+-+4%29%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+=+25
16+%2B+y%5E2+=+25
y%5E2+=+25+-+16
y%5E2+=+9
y+=+%2B3 and y+=+-3 are the y-intercepts
