#1 and did you actually try using your choices to see whether they worked?
You know that if ((x,y) is a solution, so is (-x,-y) since both x^2 and y^2 are the same value whether x,y are positive or negative.
Double eq #2 and add it to eq #1 to get 5x^2 = 45, so x^2 = 9.
So, x = ±3
Then, thinking back to the good ole 3-4-5 right triangle, you can see that y= ±4.
So, (A) is the answer.
#2. correct
