For the intercepts you set alternately #x=0# and #y=0# in your function:

On the X-axis #y=0#
So
#x^2y -x^2 + 4y = 0#
becomes
#x^2(0) - x^2 + 4(0) = 0#
#rarr -x^2 = 0#
#rarr x = 0#

On the Y-axis #x=0#
and the original equation
#x^2y -x^2 + 4y = 0#
becomes
#(0)^2y -(0)^2 +4y = 0#
#rarr y=0#

The only intercept for the given equation occurs at #(0,0)#
