Clear[x, y, z]
zFunctions = {1 - x, y - 1};
endpts = {x, y, z} /.
     First@Solve[
       Equal @@ Flatten@{z, zFunctions}, {y, z}] /. {{x -> -5}, {x ->
       5}};
Show[Plot3D[zFunctions, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}],
  Graphics3D[{Thickness[.01], Line@endpts}]]

or (the line all by itself):

Graphics3D[{Thickness[.01], Line@endpts}]
