Answer

(3, 0) or (-5, -4)

Work Step by Step

2y = x - 3 can be written as x = 2y + 3. Plug this into $y^{2} = x^{2} - 9$ $y^{2} = (2y + 3)^{2} - 9$ $y^{2} = 4y^{2} + 12y + 9 - 9$ $0 = 3y^{2} + 12y$ Divide both sides by 3 $0 = y^{2} + 4y$ Factor $0 = y(y + 4)$ y = 0 or y + 4 = 0 y = 0 or -4 Plug y-values into x = 2y + 3 x = 2(0) + 3 = 3 x = 2(-4) + 3 = -5 (3, 0) or (-5, -4)
