Answer

See below

Work Step by Step

We obtain: $2y+\sin x=0\\ x(\cos y-2)=0$ The critical point are $(0,0)$ The Jacobian of the system is: $J(x,y)=\begin{pmatrix} \cos x & 2\\ \cos y-2 & -x\sin y \end{pmatrix}$ Substituting: $J(0,0)=\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2\\ -1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ Then the eigenvalues are $\lambda_1=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{i\sqrt 7}{2},\lambda_2=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{i\sqrt 7}{2}$. Consequently, the equilibrium point $(0,0)$ is a spiral.
