Determine the points of intersection of the line y = -2x + 7 and the parabola y = 2x2 + 3x - 5.

qaws [65]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

(-4, 15), (1.5, 4)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

This is easily solved using a graphing calculator. (See attached.)

_____

Algebraically, the solution is found by equating the expressions for y:

... -2x +7 = y = 2x² +3x -5

... 2x² +5x -12 = 0 . . . . rearranged to standard form

... (2x -3)(x +4) = 0 . . . . factor

The x-values of the points of intersection are those that make these factors be zero:

... 2x-3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3/2

... x+4 = 0 ⇒ x = -4

The linear equation is the easiest to use to find the corresponding y-values.

... for x = 3/2, y = -2(3/2) +7 = 4

... for x = -4, y = -2(-4) +7 = 15

The points of intersection are (-4, 15) and (3/2, 4).

What is negative 8 over 12?

Sedaia [141]

That would be $\frac{-8}{12}$ , but it is also equal to just $-\frac{8}{12}$ . You would simplify the $\frac{8}{12}$ part, and you would get $\frac{2}{3}$ , or if you need a decimal, $0.6666...$
But don't forget the negative part, so the answer would be $-\frac{2}{3}$ or $-0.6666...$
