Find the points of intersection, if any, of the pair of curves :
x^2+y^2=13 , y=x+1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y from the second equation into the first one. In this way you exclude y and obtain single equation for variable x:

x%5E2 + %28x%2B1%29%5E2 = 13.

Simplify and solve this quadratic equation:

2x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+12 = 0,

x%5E2+%2B+x+-+6 = 0.

The roots are x%5B1%5D = -3 and x%5B2%5D = 2.

Hence, the pairs (x,y) = (-3,-2) and (2,3) are our intersection points.

Answer. the pairs (x,y) = (-3,-2) and (2,3) are the two intersection points.
