We are told that equation of the line is 3x - 2y = 12 We are given its graph as well. We want to see which set of points will work for that graph. Choose x = 1 and evaluate it in the line 3x - 2y = 12.
3x - 2y = 12
3 - 2y = 12
-2y = 9
y = 9 / -2 = -4.5
So x = 1, y = -4.5 is on the line. The 2nd choice has that as the only proper ordered pair and signs.
Thus the second choice shows the proper points on the line.
