To determine which of the points proposed by Bella, Marco, and Liam are solutions to the equation \(2z + 5y = 9\), we will plug each point into the equation.

1. **Bella's point: \((-2, 1)\)**

\[
2(-2) + 5(1) = -4 + 5 = 1 \quad (\text{not equal to } 9)
\]

So, \((-2, 1)\) is **not a solution** and lies **below** the graph of the equation.

2. **Marco's point: \((11, 2)\)**

\[
2(11) + 5(2) = 22 + 10 = 32 \quad (\text{not equal to } 9)
\]

So, \((11, 2)\) is **not a solution** and lies **above** the graph of the equation.

3. **Liam's point: \((2, -1)\)**

\[
2(2) + 5(-1) = 4 - 5 = -1 \quad (\text{not equal to } 9)
\]

So, \((2, -1)\) is **not a solution** and lies **below** the graph of the equation.

### Summary:
- Liam: \((2, -1)\) is **not a solution** and lies **below** the graph of the equation.
- Marco: \((11, 2)\) is **not a solution** and lies **above** the graph of the equation.
- Bella: \((-2, 1)\) is **not a solution** and lies **below** the graph of the equation.

Thus, the correct statements would be:
- Liam named a point that is **not a solution** and lies **below** the graph of the equation.
- Marco named a point that is **not a solution** and lies **above** the graph of the equation.
- Bella named a point that is **not a solution** and lies **below** the graph of the equation.
