Algebra.Com's Answer #81220 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! use the second equation to find y (y=6-2x) and then substitute this value into the first equation\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)^2+(6-2x-2)^2=13 ___ x^2+4x+4+16-16x+4x^2=13 ___ 5x^2-12x+7=0 ___ (5x-7)(x-1)=0\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "plug the x values back into the second equation to find the corresponding y values ___ there will be two pairs\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is a line intersecting a circle (at two points) \n" ); document.write( " |
