Answer

$(4,0),(0,-2)$

Work Step by Step

$y^{2}=4-x$ Equation $(1)$ $x-2y = 4 $ Equation $(2)$ From Equation $(2)$ $x = 4+2y $ Equation $(3)$ Substituting $x = 4+2y $ in Equation $(1)$ $y^{2}=4-x$ $y^{2}=4-(4+2y)$ $y^{2}=4-4-2y$ $y^{2}=-2y$ $y^{2}+2y = 0$ $y(y+2)=0$ $y=0$ or $y=-2$ Substitute $ y$ values in Equation $(3)$ Let $y=0$ $x = 4+2y $ $x = 4+0$ $x = 4$ Let $y=-2$ $x = 4+2(-2)$ $x=4-4$ $x=0$ $(4,0),(0,-2)$ both satisfies the equations $(1)$ and $(2)$. So, solutions are $(4,0),(0,-2)$
