Answer

$(4,3),(-3,-4)$

Work Step by Step

We substitute $y=x-1$ in the equation $x^2+y^2=25$. $$ \begin{aligned} x^2+(x-1)^2 & =25 \\ x^2+x^2-2 x+1 & =25 \\ 2 x^2-2 x-24 & =0 \\ x^2-x-12 & =0 \\ (x-4)(x+3) & =0 \end{aligned} $$ $x=4 \quad$ and $\quad y=4-1=3 \quad$ or $x=-3 \quad$ and $\quad y=-3-1=-4$ The points of intersection are $(4,3),(-3,-4)$.
