    The general equation given is x^2 - 4x + y^2 = - 3. Transform this to an equation of a circle of the form x^2 + y^2 = r^2.

    Use completing the square method:

    x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = - 3 + 4

    (x - 2) ^2 + y^2 = 1

    the center of the circle is (2,0) and r = 1

    To check if it intersects the y axis, find the value of the x-intercept.
