If none of the cordinates solve the equation...then none of the points are on the line.
I worked it also, and I find that none of the point solve the equation. Is this multiple choice or do you have the option to say none of the points are on the line.
It may also be a typo in the problem you were given. Mistakes can be made by the authors of the problems.

y=-3x+5
slope m=-3 or -3/1
y int B=5
(0,5)
I graphed the equation using the above information.
I can't find any of the given pairs that work.
I think that is what you are saying also.
Good luck
Bob
