Answer

$(-3,-1)$ and $(1,3)$

Work Step by Step

$\left\{\begin{aligned}x^{2}+y^{2}&=10\\y&=x+2\end{aligned}\right.$ Graphed with desmos.com/calculator. Substitute y into the second equation $\begin{aligned}x^{2}+(x+2)^{2}&=10\\x^{2}+x^{2}+4x+4&=10\\2x^{2}+4x-6&=0\\x^{2}+2x-3&=0\end{aligned}$ ... two factors of $-3$ whose sum is $+2$ ... are $-1$ and $+3$. $(x+3)(x-1)=0$ Back-substituting $\left[\begin{array}{lll} x=1 & ... & x=-3\\ y=(1)+2 & & y=(-3)+2\\ y=3 & & y=-1\\ & & \\ (1,3) & & (-3,-1) \end{array}\right]$ Intersections: $(-3,-1)$ and $(1,3)$
