Answer:(-2,-8)

Explanation:

For these types of questions they are very easy. The first thing to know is the points. For this case, we will start off with (1,0) The x is 1 and the y is 0 so you plug them in the equation. You will then get 0=3(1)-2. Once you simplify that you will get 0=1 which is wrong. For the correct answer, the formula will look like this..... -8=3(-2)-2 which then simplify to -8=-8 which is true.
