1. **State the problem:** We are given two functions:
$$f(x) = 4x + 7$$
$$g(x) = -2x^2 + 11x + 1$$
We need to find which of the given points lies on both graphs, i.e., where $f(x) = g(x)$.
2. **Set the functions equal to find intersection points:**
$$4x + 7 = -2x^2 + 11x + 1$$
3. **Rearrange the equation to standard quadratic form:**
$$0 = -2x^2 + 11x + 1 - 4x - 7$$
$$0 = -2x^2 + (11x - 4x) + (1 - 7)$$
$$0 = -2x^2 + 7x - 6$$
4. **Multiply both sides by $-1$ to simplify:**
$$0 = 2x^2 - 7x + 6$$
5. **Solve the quadratic equation:**
Use the quadratic formula:
$$x = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{(-7)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 6}}{2 \cdot 2} = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49 - 48}}{4} = \frac{7 \pm 1}{4}$$
6. **Calculate the two roots:**
$$x_1 = \frac{7 + 1}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$$
$$x_2 = \frac{7 - 1}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = 1.5$$
7. **Find corresponding $y$ values for each $x$ using $f(x)$:**
For $x=2$:
$$f(2) = 4(2) + 7 = 8 + 7 = 15$$
For $x=1.5$:
$$f(1.5) = 4(1.5) + 7 = 6 + 7 = 13$$
8. **Check which given points match these $(x,y)$ pairs:**
- Option B: $(1.5, 13)$ matches exactly.
- Option C: $(2, 1.5)$ does not match since $y=15$ for $x=2$.
- Options A and D do not match the $x$ values found.
**Final answer:** The graphs intersect at point **B. (1 1/2, 13)**.
