If: y -x = 7
Then: y = 7+x
If: y = 8/x
Then: xy = 8
Therefore it follows that: x(7+x) = 8
So: 7x+x^2 = 8 => 7x^2 -8 = 0
Using the quadratic equation formula: x = -8 or x = 1
By substitution the line intercepts the curve at (-8, -1) and (1, 8)
They work out as: (-3, 1) and (2, -14)
If: y = x2-x-12 Then points of contact are at: (0, -12), (4, 0) and (-3, 0)
The two solutions are (x, y) = (-0.5, -sqrt(3.5)) and (-0.5, sqrt(3.5))
You get a curve. If you join them along the shortest [Euclidean] distance between them, you get a straight line.
Equations: x -y = 2 and x^2 -4y^2 = 5 By combining the equations into a single quadratic equation in terms of y and solving it: y = 1/3 or y = 1 By means of substitution the points of intersection are at: (7/3, 1/3) and (3, 1)
They work out as: (-3, 1) and (2, -14)
Straight line: 3x-y = 5 Curved parabola: 2x^2 +y^2 = 129 Points of intersection works out as: (52/11, 101/11) and (-2, -11)
If: y = x2-x-12 Then points of contact are at: (0, -12), (4, 0) and (-3, 0)
The two solutions are (x, y) = (-0.5, -sqrt(3.5)) and (-0.5, sqrt(3.5))

The intersection of the individual graphs. In the simplest case, the graph for each equation consists of a line (or some curve); the intersection is the points where the lines or curves meet.
If: x-2y = 1 and 3xy-y2 = 8 Then: x =1+2y and so 3(1+2y)y-y2 = 8 => 3y+5y2-8 = 0 Solving the quadratic equation: y = 1 or y = -8/5 Points of intersection by substitution: (3, 1) and (-11/5, -8/5)

A secant is a line that intersects a curve at two or more points. In the context of a circle, a secant can be defined as a line that crosses the circle, providing two points of intersection. These intersection points help in calculating various properties of the circle, such as angles and lengths, depending on the specific geometric scenario involved.
If: y = 10x -12 and y = x^2 +20x +12 Then: x^2 +20x +12 = 10x -12 Transposing terms: x^2 +10x +24 = 0 Factorizing: (x+6)(x+4) = 0 => x = -6 or x = -4 Points of intersection by substitution are at: (-6, -72) and (-4, -52)
