(3, - 2)

1) As the rule of the function has been given to us. Let's find out which point fits in the Solution for:

y=-x/3 -1

As we can see, the y-intercept is b=-1

3) So, (3, - 2) is the solution. Since (3, -2) belongs to the blue line

Checking algebraically

y=-x/3 -1

-2= -3/3 -1

-2 = -2 TRUE!

-

=
