Is the point (-4, 1/2) on the graph of y=1/2x-4?
How do you know?
----
Test it.
1/2 = (1/2)(-4) -4
---
1/2 = -2-4
---
1/2 = -6
---
False

That point is not on that line.

Point P(-4, 1/2) and y = 1/2x - 4
Put x = -4 in the equation
y = 1/2 * (-4) -4 = -6
But y = 1/2 in point p
Therefore the point P is not on the graph
