Algebra-1

1.The quadratic equation represents a parabola that opens upwards.

2.The linear equation represents a line that is descending (i.e., has a negative slope).

Analysis:

1.If the line intersects the parabola at two points, there are 2 solutions.

2.If the line is tangent to the parabola (i.e., it touches the parabola at exactly one point), there is 1 solution.
