Final answer:

To find the correct point of intersection that satisfies the system of equations, substitute the x and y values into both equations and check which one is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of intersection that would make the system of equations true can be found by substituting the x and y values into both equations. Let's use option (b) (1, -4) as an example:

For equation 1, substituting x = 1 and y = -4:

y = 4x - 5

-4 = 4(1) - 5

-4 = 4 - 5

-4 = -1

This is not true, so point (1, -4) is not the correct point of intersection. You can follow the same process for the remaining options and check which one satisfies both equations.
