Since y = 7 - 2x, we can now substitute to obtain a quadratic expression in terms of x:




(apparently, this luckily factors out)

or

From this, we conclude y = -3 and y = 29/5, respectively. Checking, both of the ordered pairs satisfy both equations (they should, since a circle and a line normally intersect at two points).
