Answer

$(-2,0)$

Work Step by Step

$\left\{\begin{aligned}x^{2}+y^{2}&=4\\x^{2}+2x+y^{2}&=0\end{aligned}\right.$ Graphed with desmos.com/calculator. Rewrite the LHS of the second equation as $x^{2}+2x+y^{2}=0$ $2x+(x^{2}+y^{2})=0$ ... substituting $x^{2}+y^{2}$ with $4...$ $2x+4=0$ $2x=-4$ $x=-2$ Back-substituting: $(-2)^{2}+y^{2}=4$ $y^{2}=0$ $y=0$ Intersection point is $(-2,0)$
