Answer

See below

Work Step by Step

We obtain: $2x+5y^2=0\\ y(3-4x)=0$ The critical point are $(0,0)$ The Jacobian of the system is: $J(x,y)=\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 10y\\ -4y & 3-4x \end{pmatrix}$ Substituting: $J(0,0)=\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 0\\ 0 & 3 \end{pmatrix}$ Then the eigenvalues are $\lambda_1=2,\lambda_2=2$. Consequently, the equilibrium point $(0,0)$ is a node.
