Step 1:
\The curve is and the line is
.
The curve intersects the line
.
The line is .
Solve for y .
\Divide each side by 3.
\.
Substitute in
.
If , then
.
If , then
.
Thus, the intersection points are and
.
Step 2 :
\Find the distance between the intersection points.
\Let the points are and
.
Distance between two points : .
The distance between the two intersection points :
\The distance between the intersection points is units.
