Final Answer:

The points of intersection between the graphs of
\(f(x)=-2x^2+8\) and
\(g(x)=1.75x+6\) with the y-axis and the line
\(x=2\) are (-2, 0) and (2, 0), respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the points of intersection, we set the two functions equal to each other and solve for
\(x\):


\[ -2x^2 + 8 = 1.75x + 6 \]

Bringing all terms to one side, we get a quadratic equation:


\[ -2x^2 - 1.75x + 2 = 0 \]

Now, we can solve this quadratic equation for
\(x\). The solutions will give us the x-coordinates of the points of intersection. Using the quadratic formula
\(x = (-b \pm √(b^2-4ac))/(2a)\), where a = -2, b = -1.75, and c = 2, we find two solutions: x = -2 and x = 1.

Now that we have the x-coordinates, we can find the corresponding y-coordinates by plugging these values into either
\(f(x)\) or
\(g(x)\). For x = -2,
(f(-2) = -2(-2)^2 + 8 = 0\)), and for x = 1, (g(1) = 1.75(1) + 6 = 7.75).

Therefore, the points of intersection are (-2, 0) and (2, 0), as these are the points where the graphs of
\(f(x)\) and
\(g(x)\) intersect the y-axis and the line x=2, respectively.
