Answer

$(2,-6),(-2,10)$

Work Step by Step

$$\begin{cases} y=x^2-4x-2\\ y=-4x+2 \end{cases}$$ Equate the expressions and solve for $x$ using the substitution method: $$x^2-4x-2=-4x+2$$ $$x^2-2=2$$ $$x^2=4$$ $$x=\pm\sqrt4=\pm2$$ Determine $y$: $$y_1=-4(2)+2=-6$$ $$y_2=-4(-2)+2=10$$ The solutions are: $$(2,-6),(-2,10)$$
