22.4.2 Solving the System for Coordinates

Core idea

Combine the two equations into one and solve for x, often landing on a quadratic, to find the coordinates of the intersection points.

Module goal. Place a line and a hyperbola in the same coordinate system to study their intersections, enclosed areas, and which graph sits above the other.
