Answer

$(0,3), (2,-1)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the system: $\begin{cases} x-y=3\\ (x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=4 \end{cases}$ We graph both equations on the same system of coordinates. The graph shows the system has two solutions: $P(0,-3)$ $Q(2,-1)$ We check is $(x,y)=(0,-3)$ is solution of the system: $x-y=3$ $0-(-3)\stackrel{?}{=} 3$ $3=3\checkmark$ $(x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=4$ $(0-2)^2+(-3+3)^2\stackrel{?}{=}4$ $4+0\stackrel{?}{=}4$ $4=4\checkmark$ We check is $(x,y)=(2,-1)$ is solution of the system: $x-y=3$ $2-(-1)\stackrel{?}{=} 3$ $3=3\checkmark$ $(x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=4$ $(2-2)^2+(-1+3)^2\stackrel{?}{=}4$ $0+4\stackrel{?}{=}4$ $4=4\checkmark$ Therefore $(0,3)$ and $(2,-1)$ are the system's solutions.
