To find the coordinates of point \(P (x, y)\), equate \(y\) or \(x\) of both the equations;
\(x + 1 = 2x + 3\)
\(x = -2\)
So, \(P = (-2, y)\)
Only one option has a x-coordinate to -2
Hence, option A

Quickly sketch out on a coordinate system, it shows that clearly that the point of intersection is going to be in the negative X range, so eliminate C, D, E.
Next, can we get a positive integer for Y if we use a negative integer for X in the equation Y=X+1? No, so eliminate B.
Answer choice A is the only one left.
