To find the point at which the two lines intersect, we can solve the system of equations by substituting the value of y from the second equation into the first equation:
−x − (x + 1) = −5
−x - x - 1 = -5
-2x - 1 = -5
-2x = -4
x = 2
Now that we have found x = 2, we can substitute this value back into the second equation to find the value of y:
y = 2 + 1
y = 3
Therefore, the two lines intersect at the point (2, 3). So the correct answer is:
(2, 3)
