Answer: Choice C. (3, 3)

============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

If we plug in x = -3, then we get

y = (1/3)*x + 2

y = (1/3)*(-3) + 2

y = -1 + 2

y = 1

So the point (-3, 1) is on the line instead of (-3, 2). This rules out choice A.

Now let's try x = 3

y = (1/3)*x + 2

y = (1/3)*(3) + 2

y = 1 + 2

y = 3

We can see that (3,3) is on the line. That directs us to choice C as the final answer.

For the sake of completeness, let's try x = 6 to see what we get

y = (1/3)*x + 2

y = (1/3)*(6) + 2

y = 2 + 2

y = 4

So the point (6,4) is on the line instead of (6,8), which allows us to rule out choice D.
