Finding Points of Intersection

This video tutorial demonstrates how to find the points of intersection between a line and a parabola. The process involves setting the equations equal, solving for x, and determining the intersection points. The tutorial explains the steps to combine like terms and solve quadratic equations, leading to the calculation of intersection points and their coordinates. A graph is shown to verify the results, and viewers are encouraged to seek further assistance if needed.
