Label the given points as follows:
A (0, 5)
B (2, 2)
C (3, 1)
D (4, -1)
The straight line has a constant slope. Therefore it should have the same value when any two of the four points are used to calculate the slope.
Try A and B:
Slope = (2 - 5)/(2 - 0) = -3/2
Try A and C:
Slope = (1 - 5)/(3 - 0) = -4/3
Try A and D.
Slope = (-1 - 5)/(4 - 0) = -3/2
Try B and D.
Slope = (-1 - 2)/(4 - 2) = -3/2
Clearly, C does not lie on the straight line.
Answer: The point that the graph does not pass through is (3,1).
Essentially, you can always tell a thing's position by 3 coordinates. We also say that our world is three-dimentional: it has three dimensions -that's why three coordinates are needed. If something is on a flat surface, you know its one coordinate (all points on the same surface have the same coordinate) so you only need two more (you can call them vertical and horizontal)
