Answer

Both points $(4,17)$ and $(-1,2)$ are solution of the system.

Work Step by Step

As depicted in the graph , there are two points $(4,17)$ and $(-1,2)$. Our next step is to check the points satisfies both equations. Plug $x=4$ and $y=17$ in the given equations to obtain: $x^2=y-1 \ or, 16=17-1\implies 16=16 (True)\quad and \quad y=3x+5 \ or, 17=12+5 \implies 17 =17 (True)$ This implies that the point $(4,17)$ is the solution or point of intersection of graphs. Now, plug $x=-1$ and $y=2$ in the given equations to obtain: $x^2=y-1 \ or, 1=2-1\implies 1=1 (True)\quad and \quad y=3x+5 \ or, 2=-3+5 \implies 2 =2 (True)$ This implies that the point $(-1,2)$ is the solution or point of intersection of graphs. Therefore, both points $(4,17)$ and $(-1,2)$ are solution of the system.
