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.
