Equation of line: x +y = -0.25 or x +y = -1/4

Equation of curve: y = x^2

If: x +y = -1/4 then y = -1/4 -x

If: y = x^2 then x^2 = -1/4 -x or 4x^2 = -1 -4x

Transposing terms: 4x^2 +4x +1 = 0

Factorizing the above: (2x+1)(2x+1) = 0 meaning x = -1/2

Therefore by substitution solutions are: x = -1/2 and y = 1/4
