Final: Where They Meet

Part of the Quadratics & Complex Numbers section of Coddy's Algebra 2 journey. Lesson 48 of 48.

The board holds a parabola and a line. Find every point where they meet: each one is an x and a y that make both equations true at once.

Challenge

Find every point where the parabola $y = {x}^{2}-x-2$ meets the line $y = 2x+2$ .

Try it yourself

y = x^{2}-x-2

y = 2x+2

Find $x$ , $y$
