These are the roots of the equation i.e. points at which graph intersects X-Axis and not the point where the two graphs intersect[/quote]

but the question only asks about the point of intersection of graph and not of the two graphs!!!

But OA given is one point. What I solved is that I put y=0 in 2nd equation and got x=-3 and -1 and hence marked two points of intersection as answer choice but the correct is one point of intersection. Considering what you said about shifting of Graph in Y+, then there is one point of intersection I...
