Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (x - 2)² = x² - 4x + 4 → (1)
x + y - 2 = 0 → (2)
substitute y = x² - 4x + 4 into (2)
x + x² - 4x + 4 - 2 = 0
x² - 3x + 2 = 0
(x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
substitute these values into (2) and solve for y
x = 1 : 1 + y - 2 = 0 ⇒ y - 1 = 0 ⇒ y = 1 ⇒ (1, 1 )
x = 2 : 2 + y - 2 = 0 ⇒ y + 0 = 0 ⇒ y = 0 ⇒ (2, 0 )
the line intersects curve C at 2 points (1, 1 ) and (2, 0 )
