B I’m not 100% sure but I think
X^2 + y^2 = 8
X-y=0 so x = y
replace x = y into X^2 + y^2 = 8
y^2 + y^2 = 8
2y^2 = 8
y^2 = 8/2
y^2 = 4
y = - 2 and y = 2
because x = y
so x = - 2 and x = 2
solutions:
x= - 2 and x = + 2
y= - 2 and y = + 2
The vertical number line in a Cartesian coordinate system is called the vertical axis.
Good luck :)
