You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 
 
the line that passes through the points ( , ) and ( ,  )
 
 
a.  
 .......plug in ( , ) 
  
 =>false, this point is not on a line; so, this is not your answer
 
 
b.  
 .......plug in ( , ) 
  
 => false,this point is not on a line; so, this is not your answer
 
c.  
 ....plug in ( , ) 
  
  
 => false, this point is not on a line; so, this is not your answer
 
d.  
 ...plug in ( , ) 
  
  
 =>true, this point   on a line; so, check the other point
 
 ...plug in( ,  )
 
 
 
 
 
 =>true, this point   on a line; so, both points lie on a line and your answer is
