Answer

$(-5,25),(3,9)$

Work Step by Step

Set $y=x^2$ equal to $y=15-2 x$ and solve $$ \begin{aligned} x^2 & =15-2 x \\ x^2+2 x-15 & =0 \\ (x+5)(x-3) & =0 \\ x & =-5,x=3 \end{aligned} $$ $x=-5 \quad$ and $\quad y=15-2(-5)=25 \quad$ or $x=3 \quad$ and $\quad y=15-2(3)=9$ The points of intersection are $(-5,25),(3,9)$.
