Plug them in the equation y = 5x − 7 and find out.
-7 = 5(1) − 7
What do you think?

To check, just plug in the (x, y) = (1,-7) values to see if the equation holds:
When writing I like to put a question mark above the equal sign, but here I will use =?=
—
-7 =?= 5(1) - 7
-7 =?= -2
—
NO (1, -7) does not make the equation true!

I hope you now understand how to do these.
