The circle c has equation x^2 + y^2 = 1. The line l has gradient 3 and intercepts the y axis at the point (0, 1). c and l intersect at two points. Find the co-ordinates of these points.

The first step would be to form an equation for the line l. Using y=mx+c, and the information provided in the question, the equation for line l is y=3x+1. To find the coordinates of where c and l intersec...
