Answer

$(5,1),(-1,7)$

Work Step by Step

$y=x^{2}-5x+1$ Equation $(1)$ $y=-x+6$ Equation $(2)$ From Equation $(1)$ and Equation $(2)$ $x^{2}-5x+1=-x+6$ $x^{2}-5x+1+x-6=0$ $x^{2}-4x-5=0$ By factoring, $(x-5)(x+1)=0$ $x=5$ or $x=-1$ Substitute $x$ values in Equation $(2)$ to get corresponding $y$ values. Let $x=5$ $y=-x+6$ $y=-5+6$ $y=1$ Let $x=-1$ $y=-x+6$ $y=-(-1)+6$ $y=1+6$ $y=7$ $(5,1),(-1,7)$ satisfy the given equations. The solution set is $\{(5,1),(-1,7)\}$
