Matching the two parametric equations at an intersection gives $\cos \varphi =-t$ and $\sin \varphi =1+t$. The Pythagorean trigonometric identity therefore requiresFor $t=0$, the sine is one and the cosine is zero; for $t=-1$, the cosine is one and the sine is zero. Keeping the stated half-open angular interval givesThe corresponding points are $(0,1)$ and $(2,0)$; both satisfy the original parametric equations.
