Answer

$(12,-5),(-12,5)$

Work Step by Step

$x^{2}+y^{2}=169$ Equation $(1)$ $5x+12y=0$ Equation $(2)$ From Equation $(2)$, $5x+12y=0$ $12y=-5x$ $y=\frac{-5x}{12}$ Substitute $y=\frac{-5x}{12}$ in Equation $(1)$ $x^{2}+y^{2}=169$ $x^{2}+(\frac{-5x}{12})^{2}=169$ $x^{2}+(\frac{25x^{2}}{144})=169$ Taking LCD, $(\frac{144x^{2}+25x^{2}}{144})=169$ $144x^{2}+25x^{2}=169 \times 144$ $169x^{2}=169 \times 144$ $x^{2}=144$ $x=±12$ $x=12$ or $x=-12$ Substitute $x$ values in Equation $(2)$ to get corresponding $y$ values. Let $x=12$ $5x+12y=0$ $5(12)+12y=0$ $60+12y=0$ $12y=-60$ $y=-5$ Let $x=-12$ $5x+12y=0$ $5(-12)+12y=0$ $-60+12y=0$ $12y=60$ $y=5$ $(12,-5),(-12,5)$ satisfy the given equations.
