Alan,

thanx, I've got this one., very kind of you..

Alan,

I really do not know....I'm thinking something like this:

\({x \over y}=-1\)

so then \(x=-y\)

so then \(x+y=0\)

However, it is given that \(x+y=2\)

uuhh, Alan...I don't know...this makes me feel so utterly stupid!

Hi Alan,

gosh, I don't even have a slightest clue where to start...how to start....I'm looking at this..but just do not know at all what to do..I have just googled..found something..maybe.....just give me a minute or so, I'll come back to you..

Hi ElectricPavlov,

oooohhhh I see,

gosh Melody, thank you very much for .."dismanteling" the whole thing for me...you always go the extra mile!!..I can really see your passion in helping others!!!.. 

aawww, you know what I did?????...I did not follow the order of operations when I checked the roots.....Thank you for your time, I do appreciate..

Hi asinus,

the memo I have on this sum uses a way different approach, and comes up with 9,22 or 99,22 deg..?

Thanx a million!

Hi Melody,

Thank you for answering. The question is about a parabola and straight line intercepting on a plane, and all the normal questions one can expect to find, is asked. Then the one I asked about. I was thinking that, to make a drawing of this whole thing just for a 4 point question I do not understand, is way not worth the effort. So, I think I'm going to sit this one out. Anyways, as usual, thank you very much for being out there!!!!..I do appreciate!

Hello Melody,

Thank you sooo much for your esponse.I do see my error. my problem is as with sooo many other sums, that I tend to just do the sum, like I did in my example, and do not really comprehend, or see the restrictions. Also, I hardly ever test the result back in the original equation, to test if the answer does indeed make sense or not...something i should really start learning to do...you agree?..
