Answer:

(-1, -1)

Explanation:

Let's set these two equations equal to each other to solve the system:

x = 2x + 1

Solving for x, we get x = -1

Plug this value of x back into any of the two equations to get y: y = 2 * (-1) + 1 = -1.

Thus, the point of intersection is (-1, -1).

Hope this helps!
