Answer:
(1,6) & (7,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -x + 7
y = -0.5(x - 3)² + 8
To solve the system, solve these two equations simultaneously
-x + 7 = -0.5(x - 3)² + 8
-x + 7 = -0.5(x² - 6x + 9) + 8
-x + 7 = -0.5x² + 3x - 4.5 + 8
0.5x² - 4x + 3.5 = 0
x² - 8x + 7 = 0
x² - 7x - x + 7 = 0
x(x - 7) - (x - 7) = 0
(x - 1)(x - 7) = 0
x = 1, 7
y = -1 + 7 = 6
y = -7 + 7 = 0
(1,6) (7,0)
Since the system has two distinct solutions, the line and the curve meet at two distinct poibts9: (1,6) & (7,0)
