THe solution to a system will represent where the functions meet each other. At this point the x and y values of each function will be the same. This allows you to set up the following equation: \[y_1=y_2\] since you know what y1 and y2 are equal to, sub those in now: \[x^2-3x+2=4x-4\] now you have one unknown (x) and one equation, this mean that you are able to find the value of x which satifies the equation, moving the equation around: \[x^2-7x+6=0\] A quadratic form, from here you should be able to solve for x (giving to solutions), and plugging into either of the origional equations for y to find the point set.
