Intersections of a line and a quadratic graph

Question 1 of 8

No calculator

Consider the line and quadratic graph with rules

y=-x - 5

y=2x^2 - 5x - 11

Use exact values. A common point has the same x- and y-values in both rules

(a)1 mark

Which equation in x correctly represents the common points of the two graphs?

-x - 5=0

2x^2 - 5x - 11=0

2x^2 - 4x - 6=0

(b)1 mark

Calculate the discriminant of the combined quadratic equation

\(\Delta\)

Before finding the coordinates, use the discriminant of the combined equation to choose the number of common points

1 common point

0 common points

2 common points

(d)4 marks

Find the ordered pairs where the line and quadratic graph intersect

Enter the point with the smaller x-coordinate first

\(x_1\) \(y_1\) \(x_2\) \(y_2\)
