1. **State the problem:** We need to find the coordinate pair $(x,y)$ that satisfies both equations simultaneously:
$$y = 2x - 3$$
$$y = -x + 3$$
2. **Set the equations equal to each other:** Since both expressions equal $y$, we can set them equal:
$$2x - 3 = -x + 3$$
3. **Solve for $x$:**
Add $x$ to both sides:
$$2x + x - 3 = 3$$
Simplify:
$$3x - 3 = 3$$
Add 3 to both sides:
$$3x - \cancel{3} + \cancel{3} = 3 + 3$$
$$3x = 6$$
Divide both sides by 3:
$$\frac{3x}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{6}{\cancel{3}}$$
$$x = 2$$
4. **Find $y$ by substituting $x=2$ into one of the original equations:**
Using $y = 2x - 3$:
$$y = 2(2) - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1$$
5. **Solution:** The coordinate pair that solves the system is:
$$(2, 1)$$
This means the two lines intersect at the point $(2,1)$ on the Cartesian plane.
