To solve the system of equations given by:

  1. \( y = -12x - 43 \)
  2. \( y = x^2 - 30x + 38 \)

we can set these two equations equal to each other since both are equal to \( y \):

\[ -12x - 43 = x^2 - 30x + 38 \]

Rearranging this equation gives us:

\[ 0 = x^2 - 30x + 38 + 12x + 43 \]

Combine the like terms:

\[ 0 = x^2 - 18x + 81 \]

Now, we can rearrange this into standard quadratic form:

\[ x^2 - 18x + 81 = 0 \]

Next, we can factor this quadratic:

\[ (x - 9)(x - 9) = (x - 9)^2 = 0 \]

Setting the factor equal to zero gives us:

\[ x - 9 = 0 \implies x = 9 \]

Now, we substitute \( x = 9 \) back into the first equation to find \( y \):

\[ y = -12(9) - 43 \]

Calculating the right-hand side:

\[ y = -108 - 43 = -151 \]

Thus, we have found one solution to the system of equations:

\[ (x, y) = (9, -151) \]

So the coordinates in exact form are:

\[ \boxed{(9, -151)} \]
