Take the first coordinates of your given ordered pairs and substitute that number for in the equation. Do the indicated arithmetic. If the result is the second coordinate of the ordered pair, then that ordered pair is on the graph; otherwise not.

For example, the first given ordered pair is , so



So is NOT on the graph. Check the other three given points for yourself. By the way, one of the other answers can be eliminated by inspection because the range of an exponential function is the interval .
