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)

What figure do you get if you join two points in cartesian plane?

You get a curve. If you join them along the shortest [Euclidean] distance between them, you get a straight line.


What are the points of intersection between the line x -y equals 2 and the curve x2 -4y2 equals 5?

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)


Where are solutions to a system seen on the graph?

Segments below is a secant?

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.
