What distribution is this?

Hi,
I have a set of variables (x_i,y_i) where x_i >=0, y_i is a real
number.
I believe it follows a distribution of form
y_i = Y + sqrt(x_i) * stdev * Z
where Y is a real number, Z is a normal random variable, with mean 0
and standard deviation 1
For the given set of variables, how do I determine Y, along with
confidence bounds for Y, and a measure of whether or no the
distribution holds?
the following picture might help to describe what I'm doing.
