been struggling to solve this equation, can’t seem to get the correct answer. help will be greatly appreciated ! <3
y-3 = b
(x-1)² + (y-3)² = 5 ⇨ a² + b² = 5
⇨ b² = 5 - a²
3x = y-5 ⇨ 3(a+1) = b-2 ⇨ 3a+5 = b
⇨ (3a+5)² = b²
(3a+5)² = 5 - a² ⇨ a² + 3a +2 = 0 ⇨ (a+1)⋅(a+2) = 0
a₁ = -1 ⇨ x₁ = 0 ⇨ y₁ = 5
a₂ = -2 ⇨ x₂ = -1 ⇨ y₂ = 2
Pls feel free to ask if any steps stuck you
