1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of equations using substitution:
$$\begin{cases} 3x - 4y = 11 \\ y = -3x + 1 \end{cases}$$
2. **Use substitution:** Since the second equation gives $y$ in terms of $x$, substitute $y = -3x + 1$ into the first equation.
3. **Substitute and simplify:**
$$3x - 4(-3x + 1) = 11$$
Distribute the $-4$:
$$3x + 12x - 4 = 11$$
Combine like terms:
$$15x - 4 = 11$$
4. **Isolate $x$:**
Add 4 to both sides:
$$15x - \cancel{4} + \cancel{4} = 11 + 4$$
$$15x = 15$$
Divide both sides by 15:
$$\frac{15x}{\cancel{15}} = \frac{15}{\cancel{15}}$$
$$x = 1$$
5. **Find $y$:** Substitute $x=1$ back into $y = -3x + 1$:
$$y = -3(1) + 1 = -3 + 1 = -2$$
6. **Final answer:** The solution to the system is
$$(x, y) = (1, -2)$$
This means the two lines intersect at the point $(1, -2)$.
