Find the points of intersection of the parabola y = -2(x+1)²-5 and the straight line y = mx -7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is the same as to solve this equation.

-2%28x%2B1%29%5E2+-+5 = mx - 7.

But since the parameter (slope) "m" is not given, you can not get a numerical solution.

Only symbolic . . .

Is this what they want from you?
