What is the y- value of the intersection y=2x and y=x^2-3

y = - 2 or y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 2x → (1)

y = x² - 3 → (2)

Substitute y = x² - 3 into (1)

x² - 3 = 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x² - 2x - 3 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y

x = 3 : y = 2 × 3 = 6

x = - 1 : y = 2 × - 1 = - 2

hi there!

the answer will be d: 2
