Answer

The solution is $(0,9)$.

Work Step by Step

The given system is $y=x^2+9$ ...... (1) $y=9$ ...... (2) Substitute $9$ for $y$ in equation (1). $\Rightarrow 9=x^2+9$ Subtract $9$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 9-9=x^2+9-9$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 0=x^2$ Take square root on each side. $\Rightarrow 0=x$ Substitute $0$ for $x$ in equation (2). $\Rightarrow y=9$ Hence, the solution is $(0,9)$.
