Answer:

C. (-1, 2) and (4, 7)

Explanation:

It may be simplest just to try the answer choices.

We notice that y = x+3 is not satisfied by the points in choices A or D, so those can be eliminated.

__

The second equation can be written in vertex form as ...

y = (x -1)^2 -2

This equation is not satisfied by the points of choice B.

Using (-1, 4) (from choice B), we get 4 = (-1-1)^2 -2 = 4-2 = 2 . . . FALSE.

However it is a good match for the points of choice C.

Using (-1, 2) (from choice C), we get 2 = (-1-1)^2 -2 = 4 -2 = 2 . . . True

The appropriate choice is ...

(-1, 2) and (4, 7)
