Intersection of 2 curves

I am trying to locate a numerical technique to find the intersection of
2 curves. These are defined by tables of data rather than equations.
The data can be fitted with a 2nd degree polynomial, and only intersect
at one point. Both curves have positive slopes, though one has a
larger slope than the other.


Appreciate any suggestions or references.
