 The task currently references https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Circle-LineIntersection.html which (for now, at least) seems to be incorrect.
-Consider, for example, a circle of radius 1 at the origin and a line extending through the origin and the point x=1, y=1. Here, we expect intersections at x and y equal to the square root of 2 and the negative of the square root of 2. Ignoring the negative x and y results for simplicity, and working through the wolfram approach:
