Given equations are 

y=x+4…..(1) and y=-x-6 …..(2) 

 equation (1) and (2) both equal to y so we can do equation (1)=equation (2)  and find the valu of x 

x+4=-x-6 

x+x=-6-4

2x=-10 

x=-5 using x valu in equation (2) we get the valu of y 

y=x+4

y=-5+4

y=-1 the valu of (x,y) is (-5,-1) the option c is correct answer.
