Answer :

To solve the system of equations given, which are: 1. \(y = x^2 - 3x + 6\) 2. \(y = 2x + 6\) We need to find the points where these two equations intersect, meaning where they have the same y-values. To solve this system, we set the two equations equal to each other: \[x^2 - 3x + 6 = 2x + 6\] Next, we simplify the equation: \[x^2 - 3x + 6 = 2x + 6\] \[x^2 - 3x = 2x\] \[x^2 - 5x = 0\] \[x(x - 5) = 0\] This equation has solutions when: 1. \(x = 0\) 2. \(x - 5 = 0\) which implies \(x = 5\) Now, we substitute these x-values back into one of the original equations to find the corresponding y-values. Using the equation \(y = x^2 - 3x + 6\), we find: 1. When \(x = 0\): \(y = (0)^2 - 3(0) + 6 = 6\). So, the point is (0, 6). 2. When \(x = 5\): \(y = (5)^2 - 3(5) + 6 = 25 - 15 + 6 = 16\). So, the point is (5, 16). Therefore, the correct answer is: C. (0, 6) and (5, 16)
