The answer is 5. Work backwards: first add 7 to 9, then divide by 2, then subtract 3.
9+7=16
16/2=8
8-3=5
Cross Check:
5+3=8
8*2=16
16-7=9
Final Answer: 5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) The other curve is
then the common points of both curves are x-intercepts, the roots of 

2). Then those intersection points are the upper and the lower limits. Plugging in to this formula for they belong to the interval [-1,1]:


Find slope first:
m =y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 1--2/2--2
m = 3/4
Select a point, insert your slope, & put it into point slope form:
y-y1 =m(x-x1)
Your final answers are:
y-1=3/4(x-2)
OR
y+2 =3/4(x+2)
