Question

The curve y=9-6/x and the line y+x=8 intersect at two points. Find the coordinates of the two points​

Answer 1

(0,9) and (0,8)

I’m not so sure of my answer but wish u the best and good luck!!

Answer 2

Answer: (2,6) (-3,11)

Step-by-step explanation:

At the intersection, y=9- 6/x and y+x = 8 are equal to each other

y + x = 8  is the same as y=8-x

Sub this into y = 9 - 6/x

8 - x = 9 - 6/x

Multiply everything by x:

8x - x^2 = 9x - 6

x^2 + x - 6 = 0

(x-2)(x+3) = 0

x = 2   (so y = 9 - 6/x so y = 9 - 6/2 =6)

x = -3 (so y = 9-6/x so y = 9-6/-3 = 11)
