A curve has equation y=x^2 + (3k - 4)x + 13 and a line has equation y = 2x + k, where k is constant. Show that the x-coordinate of any point of intersection of the line and curve satisfies the equation: x^2 + 3(k - 2)x + 13 - k = 0

When we deal with points of interception, this immediately indicates that these two equations have to equal. Therefore, begin by equaling these two equations: x^2 + (3k - 4)x + 13 = 2x + k Bring all figur...
