Answer

$(-1,1), (1,-1)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the system: $\begin{cases} x+y=0\\ x^2+y^2=2 \end{cases}$ We will use the substitution method. Solve Equation 1 for $y$ and substitute the expression of $y$ in Equation 2 to eliminate $y$ and determine $x$: $\begin{cases} y=-x\\ x^2+(-x)^2=2 \end{cases}$ $x^2+x^2=2$ $2x^2=2$ $x^2=1$ $x=\pm 1$ $x_1=-1$ $x_2=1$ Substitute each of the values of $x$ in the expression of $y$ to determine $y$: $y=-x$ $x_1=-1\Rightarrow y_1=-(-1)=1$ $x_2=1\Rightarrow y_2=-1$ The system's solutions are: $(-1,1), (1,-1)$
