Question

Please help me by explain step by step.

Identify the points of intersection for y=x^2-3x-8 and y=2

Answer 1

x=5, and x=-2

Explanation:

A point of intersection between the two would be when they equal each other:

x^2-3x-8=2

x^2-3x-10=0

(x-5)(x+2)=0

x=5, and x=-2

I hope this helps! :)
