Answer 1

Answer:

0,1, and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Just did it on edge 2021

Answer 2

Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a way for them to intersect at 0 points, for example y=x^2 and y = -1

The way to intersect at 1 point is for the linear function to be tangent to the parabola, like y = x^2 and y = 0

The way to intersect 2 points is just for the linear function to be a secant to the parabola, like y = x^2 and y = 1
