============================================
Work Shown:

---------------
Explanation:
The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.
Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)
Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).
F(x) is the same as y.......so basically ur subbing in ur points into the equation to see if it comes out equal.
f(x) = 3 - 2x.....(-2,-1)....x = -2 and f(x) = -1
-1 = 3 - 2(-1)
-1 = 3 + 2
-1 = 5.....this is not true, so it is not a solution
and that is how to do this problem.....
(-1,5)......this IS a solution
(0,3)......this IS a solution
(1,0)...this IS NOT a solution
(2,-1)...this IS a solution
