The first number in your ordered pair is the -coordinate of the point and the second number is the -coordinate. Substitute the value of the -coordinate for in your equation and Substitute the value of the -coordinate for :






Do the arithmetic. If the result is a true statement, then your answer is yes, the given point is on the graph. Otherwise the answer is no.
