Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is that of a an ellipse. The second equation is that of a line.
Attached is the graphs of both of these equations.
<em>If you think about it, there can only be 2 possible ways of solutions (intersection points) of an ellipse and a line.</em>
<em>1. The line will not intersect the ellipse at all, so no solution</em>
<em>2. The line will intersect the ellipse at 2 points maximum</em>
<em />
So, we can clearly see from the reasoning that the maximum number of possible solutions would be 2. The graph attached confirms this as well.
