Answer:

To find the solution to the system of equations, we can set the right-hand sides of the equations equal to each other and solve for \(x\):

\(-4x + 11 = -x + 2\)

Simplifying, we get:

\(-4x + x = 2 - 11\)

\(-3x = -9\)

Dividing both sides by \(-3\), we find \(x = 3\).

Substituting this value back into either of the original equations, let's use the second equation \(y = -x + 2\):

\(y = -(3) + 2\)

\(y = -1\)

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is \(x = 3\) and \(y = -1\), which corresponds to the point \((3, -1)\).

The correct answer choice is O D.
