standard_description: Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically. For example, find the points of intersection between the line y = –3x and the circle x^(2 )+ y^(2) = 3.
problem_activity: Task
On graph paper, sketch a line segment with end points $A=(0,2)$ and $B=(0,6)$. Plot all points $C=(x,y)$ such that the triangle ABC has an area of 6 square units.
What two basic geometric theorems are needed to solve this problem?
