(-1, - 6)
(2, - 3)

Explanation:

$y = - x^{2} + 2 x - 3$ $y = - x^2 + 2x -3$ ------------------(1)
This is a downward facing U shaped curve
y = x - 5 -------------------------(2)
Straight line cuts it at two points.

Substitute $y = - x^{2} + 2 x - 3$ $y = - x^2 + 2x -3$ in equation (2)

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

x + 2 = 0
x = 2
Substitute the x values in equation (1)
At x = - 1 ; y = -1 - 5 = - 6

(- 1, -6) one point

At x = 2 ; y = 2 - 5 = 3

(2, -3) is another point
