Answer

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

Work Step by Step

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