Answer

$(2,1)$ and $(5,4)$

Work Step by Step

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}{y=x-1}\\{y=x^{2}-6x+9}\end{array}\right.$ Graphed with desmos.com/calculator. Substitute y into the second equation, $\begin{aligned}x^{2}-6x+9&=x-1\\x^{2}-7x+10&=0\end{aligned}$ ... two factors of 10 whose sum is -7 ... are -2 and -5. $(x-2)(x-5)=0$ $\left[\begin{array}{ll} x=2 & x=5\\ \text{... back -substitute} & \\ & \\ y=2-1 & y=5-1\\ y=1 & y=4\\ & \\ (2,1) & (5,4) \\ & \end{array}\right]$
