Problem (from the visible content):

You are tasked with finding the lines passing through the origin that intersect two curves. The key steps seem to involve:

  1. Defining the equations of two curves.
  2. Finding the points of intersection of a line passing through the origin with these two curves.
  3. Solving for the coordinates of intersection points.

Details visible in your work:

  1. The equations of the curves seem to be something like:

    • Curve C1C_1: x12=y33\frac{x-1}{2} = \frac{y-3}{3}
    • Curve C2C_2: x+12=y+32\frac{x+1}{2} = \frac{y+3}{2}

    These are linear equations in the form of lines.

  2. The process involves solving these two equations together and finding how lines passing through the origin intersect with both curves.

If you'd like me to assist further or clarify any specific part, feel free to ask. Do you want more details on the equations or help solving the problem?
