| The simultaneous solution of a linear
equation and a quadratic equation
is given by the point or points of intersection of the
line and parabola representing the equations.
To find the solution, eliminate y (or x) by substitution;
and solve the quadratic equation thus formed in x (or y).
Then find the corresponding value(s) of y (or x).
