You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+=+1+-y%5E2
y%5E2=+1+-x
y=+sqrt%281+-x%29
make a table, choose several values for x coordinate, find y coordinate, plot all points and draw a line through
x|y
0|1........y=+sqrt%281+-0%29=>y=+sqrt%281%29=>y=1
1|0........y=+sqrt%281+-1%29=>y=+sqrt%280%29=>y=0
-1|1.41........y=+sqrt%281+-%28-1%29%29=>y=+sqrt%282%29=>y=1.41
2|i........y=+sqrt%281+-2%29=>y=+sqrt%28-1%29=>y=i complex root (as you can see, domain is all x%3C=1; so, you can continue to use only negative numbers
-3|2........y=+sqrt%281+-%28-3%29%29=>y=+sqrt%284%29=>y=2
-5|2.5........y=+sqrt%281+-%28-5%29%29=>y=+sqrt%286%29=>y=2.5
