Answer

$(1,-2)$ and $(2,1)$

Work Step by Step

$\left\{\begin{aligned}y&=3x-5\\x^{2}+y^{2}&=5\end{aligned}\right.$ Graphed with desmos.com/calculator. Substitute y into the second equation $\begin{aligned}x^{2}+(3x-5)^{2}&=5\\x^{2}+9x^{2}-30x+25&=5\\10x^{2}-30x+20&=0\\x^{2}-3x+2&=0\end{aligned}$ ... two factors of 2 whose sum is -3 ... are -1 and -2. $(x-1)(x-2)=0$ Back-substituting $\left[\begin{array}{lll} x=1 & ... & x=2\\ y=3(1)-5 & & y=3(2)-5\\ y=-2 & & y=1\\ & & \\ (1,-2) & & (2,1) \end{array}\right]$
