Answer:

A) y = 1 - 2x

Explanation:

Substitute the points given into all of the equations

Let's take point (1, -1)

A) y = 1 - 2x

-1 = 1 - 2(1)

-1 = 1 - 2

-1 = -1 ✓

B) y = -x - 1

-1 = -1 - 1

-1 = -2 ✘

C) y = x - 2

-1 = 1 - 2

-1 = -1 ✓

D) y = 2x - 1

-1 = 2(1) - 1

-1 = 2 - 1

-1 = 1 ✘

So far, lines A and C can be possible solutions. Let's try point (2, -3)

A) y = 1 - 2x

-3 = 1 - 2(2)

-3 = 1 - 4

-3 = -3 ✓

C) y = x - 2

-3 = 2 - 2

-3 = 0 ✘

Thus, line A is the correct answer
