Math Problem Statement
Which point is NOT on the line y = 2x - 3?
Solution
To determine which point is not on the line , we need to check each point by plugging its -value into the equation and seeing if the corresponding -value matches.
Given points:
Let's test each one:
- For : So, is not on the line.
Since the first option does not satisfy the equation, we have already found the point that is not on the line.
Answer:
The point that is not on the line is .
