Algebra.Com's Answer #148633 by vleith(2983)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are asked to find the points that intersect. So you are being asked to find the values for x and y that satisfy both equations. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Sub that into the second equation \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "http://www76.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(16+-+(y-9)^2+)%2F16++%2B+(y-1)^2%2F49+-1+%3D+0\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now use those values for y to find the value for x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You could also go get geogebra and use that to find the intersecting points \n" ); document.write( " |
