You don't really know where the x is. The way you have written it, technically its like this. (-3^2)*x and none of the answers agree with that.
It must be -3^(2x) + 5 In that case 0,4 works. That gives (-3)^0 = -1
-1 + 5 = 4
Unfortunately so does 1,-4 because -3^2 = - 9
- 9 + 5 = - 4
If (-2,76) is the answer, then the question should be written (-3)^(2x) - 5
Until the ambiguity is gone, we're not sure.

You see if the graphs passes the vertical line test.
if any vertical line passes through more than one part of the graph then its not a function - just a relation.
