Answer

$(\sqrt 2,\sqrt 2),(-\sqrt 2,-\sqrt 2)$

Work Step by Step

$x^{2}+4y^{2}=10$ Equation $(1)$ $y=x$ Equation $(2)$ Substituting $y = x $ in Equation $(1)$ $x^{2}+4y^{2}=10$ $x^{2}+4x^{2}=10$ $5x^{2}=10$ $x^{2}=2$ $x = ±\sqrt 2$ $x = \sqrt 2$ or $x = -\sqrt 2$ From Equation $(2)$ $y = ±\sqrt 2$ $y = \sqrt 2$ or $y = -\sqrt 2$ Solutions $(\sqrt 2,\sqrt 2)$ and $(-\sqrt 2,-\sqrt 2)$ both satisfies the equations $(1)$ and $(2)$. So, solutions are $(\sqrt 2,\sqrt 2)$ and $(-\sqrt 2,-\sqrt 2)$
