Answer:

(-1,-1)

Explanation:

-6x+5y=1

6x+4y=-10

Add the two equations together to eliminate x

-6x+5y=1

6x+4y=-10

---------------------

9y = -9

Divide by 9

9y/9 = -9/9

y= -1

Substitute back into one of the equations to find x

-6x+5y=1

-6x +5(-1) = 1

-6x -5 = 1

Add 5 to each side

-6x -5+5 = 1+5

-6x = 6

Divide by -6

-6x/-6 = 6/-6

x = -1

(-1,-1)
