Set Equations Equal: Set the two equations equal to each other to find the x-coordinate of the intersection point.Since both equations equal y, we can set them equal to each other:x−6=−x+5
Solve for x: Solve for x by adding x to both sides and adding 6 to both sides to isolate x. x−6+x=−x+5+x2x−6=52x=5+62x=11
Divide by 2: Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x.22x=211x=211x=5.5
Substitute x Value: Substitute the value of x back into one of the original equations to find the y-coordinate of the intersection point.We can use the first equation y=x−6:y=5.5−6y=−0.5
Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting x and y into the second equation to ensure it is satisfied.Using the second equation y=−x+5:−0.5=−(5.5)+5−0.5=−5.5+5−0.5=−0.5The solution satisfies both equations.
