Question

These are the options (0,-5) (4,-2) (8,2) (-16,-17) (-1,-8) (-40,-34)

Answer 1

All you need to do is plug in the points!

Here we go:

3(0)- 4(-5)-8

If it equals 12, then it is a point and an answer. 

3(0)- 4(-5)-8= 12 

(0,-5) is a point!

Next one:

3(4)-4(-2)-8

12+8-8
That equals twelve. (4,-2) is an answer as well!

I am going to quickly plug in the rest of the points, since I think you have the idea. 
(8,2)  3(8)-4(2)-8= 8 This is not an answer. 
(-16,-17)  3(-16)-4(-17)-8 = 12 This is answer. 
(-1,-8)      3 (-1)-4(-8)-8= 21 This is not an answer. 
(-40,-34) 3(-40)-4(-34)-8= 8 This is not an answer.

I hope this helped you!
