Question

Determine the points of intersection of the line y=2x+5 and the circle x²+y²=36

Answer 1

The two intersection points are (-2.79,  -0.58) and (0.79,  6.58).

How to find the points of intersection?

Here we want to solve the system of equations:

y = 2x + 5

x² + y² = 36

To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:

x² + (2x + 5)² = 36

Now we can solve this for x:

x² + 4x² + 10x + 25 = 36

5x² + 10x - 11 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, to solve it we use the general formula:

$x = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{10^2 - 4*5*(-11)} }{2*5} \\\\x = \frac{-10 \pm 17.9 }{10}$

So we have two solutions for x:

x = (-10 - 17.9)/10 = -2.79

x = (-10 + 17.9)/10 = 0.79

To get the y-values of the solutions, we evaluate the linear equation in these values of x:

y = 2*(-2.79) + 5 = -0.58

y = 2*( 0.79) + 5 = 6.58

Then the two intersection points are (-2.79,  -0.58) and (0.79,  6.58).
