You have to plug in x and y given those two points and see if both sides come out right.
So we have x = 2 and y = -3

This is true, so (2,-3) is a solution

Rearrange the equation into: y = whatever format
.

.
subtract x^2 from both sides
.

.
divide both sides by 2
.

.
So you want to know if (2,-3) is on the graph? Plug the value of 'x' into the equation and see.
.

.
Yes, the point (2,-3) is on the graph.
