Algebra-1

The line intersects the parabola at (1, 3), we know that there is 1 solution at the point where the line touches the parabola.

Here's the breakdown:

1.If the line intersects the parabola at two distinct points, there would be 2 solutions.

2.If the line is tangent to the parabola, meaning it touches the parabola at exactly one point, there would be 1 solution. This is the case described in the problem, where the line intersects the parabola at (1, 3).

3.If the line does not intersect the parabola at all, there would be 0 solutions.
