Answer

$(1,4)$ and $(4,1)$.

Work Step by Step

The given system is $y=x^2-6x+9$ ...... (1) and $y+x=5$ ..... (2) Solve for $y$ in the second equation. $\Rightarrow y+x=5$ $\Rightarrow y=5-x$ ......(3) Substitute the value of $y$ into equation (1). $\Rightarrow 5-x=x^2-6x+9$ Move all terms to the one side. $\Rightarrow 0=x^2-6x+9-5+x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 0=x^2-5x+4$ Factor. $\Rightarrow 0=(x-1)(x-4)$ Use the zero product property. $x-1=0$ or $x-4=0$ Solve for $x$. $x=1$ or $x=4$ Substitute back the value of $x$ into equation (2) and solve for $y$. For $x=1$. $\Rightarrow y+1=5$ $\Rightarrow y=5-1$ $\Rightarrow y=4$ For $x=4$. $\Rightarrow y+4=5$ $\Rightarrow y=5-4$ $\Rightarrow y=1$ The points are $(1,4)$ and $(4,1)$.
