Question

2. How many points

of intersection are there
on the graph
of
y=x² + 3x-2
y -x=4

Answer 1

There is one point of intersection on the graph of y = x² + 3x - 2 and y - x = 4

To find the point of intersection, we need to set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x and y.

y = x² + 3x - 2

y - x = 4

x² + 3x - 2 - x = 4

x² + 2x - 6 = 0

(x-3)(x+2)=0

x =3 or x=-2

When x = 3, we substitute it into the first equation y = x² + 3x - 2

y = 3² + 3(3) - 2

y = 9 + 9 - 2

y = 16

When x = -2, we substitute it into the first equation y = x² + 3x - 2

y = -2² + 3(-2) - 2

y = 4 -6 -2

y = -4

So the point of intersection is (3,16) or (-2,-4)

Hence there is only one point of intersection on the graph of y = x² + 3x - 2 and y - x = 4
