Answer:

(-2, 11), (-1, 6)

Explanation:

We can find the values of x that make the difference between the functions be 0.

f(x) -f(x) = 0

x^2 -2x +3 -(-5x +1) = 0

x^2 +3x +2 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

(x +2)(x +1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . factor

Values of x that make these factors zero are solutions:

x = -2, x = -1

The corresponding values of y are ...

y = -5(-2) +1 = 11

y = -5(-1) +1 = 6

The ordered pairs that are solutions are (-2, 11) and (-1, 6).
