Question

y -intercept
oftheparabolay = x2.

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

To find the \( y \)-intercept of the parabola given by the equation \( y = x^2 \), we need to evaluate the function when \( x = 0 \).

Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the equation:

\[ y = (0)^2 = 0 \]

Thus, the \( y \)-intercept is \( 0 \).

So, the \( y \)-intercept of the parabola is:

\[ \boxed{0} \]
