Answer

$(a)$ Symmetry with respect to $y$-axis $(b)$ $x$-intercept $A(-3,0)$ and $B(3,0)$ $y$-intercept $C(0,9)$

Work Step by Step

$(a)$ As we can see from the image of the graph above, it is symmetrical with respect to the $y$-axis. Algebraically, if we replace $x$ by $-x$ equation will be still equivalent to the original one. $(b)$ $x$-intercept happens when $y=0$ $9-x^2=0$ $x^2=9$ $x=±3$ $A(-3,0)$ and $B(3,0)$ $y$-intercept happens when $x=0$ $y=9-0^2=9$ $C(0,9)$
