You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(1)
Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

(2)
Make the substitutions individually of each given point and see if each works in the equation (either in the given form, or slope-intercept form).

(3)
You can check if each point works, without writing any steps. Just look, mentally do the substitutions, and think.
