Answer

See figure. $(-2,0)$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Graph the given equations $\begin{cases} \frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{36}=1 \\ x=-2 \end{cases}$ as shown in the figure. Step 2. We can identify the intersection points as $(-2,0)$ Step 3. Checking the solution with the first equation, we have $\frac{(-2)^2}{4}+\frac{0^2}{36}=1$ Step 4. Checking the solution with the second equation, we have $-2=-2$
