This is how you can solve the problem yourself:

Substitute for y in the conic section equation; simplify, and first solve for the values of x. Once found, use these values of x in the linear equation to evaluate the corresponding values for y.

That process should be clearly understandable. Say if you have any trouble. TRY doing what was described, first!
