You can put this solution on YOUR website!
answer is:
D)
{( , ), ( , ), and ( , )}
check:
the equation of the line passing through points ( , ), ( ) is:

hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (0, 0) and (x2, y2) = (-1, 1).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .
y=(-1)x + (0)
Your graph:

so, the equation of your line is
check now all three points and see that all of them lie on the same line:
