time to do some subbing...

y = 3x - 4

I will try the first answer choice...(11,5) and (2,2)

(11,5)...x = 11 and y = 5
5 = 3(11) - 4
5 = 33 - 4
5 = 29 (incorrect...we do not even need to try (2,2) because the first one (11,5) is incorrect.

now you can try the others and see what fits...what is equal...give it a shot :)
