Answer:

A. (-3, 2)

Explanation:

First step is to revert the equation into y = mx + b form.

-4x + 2y = 16 turns into y = 2x+8

Now just plug in the points given to see which one matches.

(-3,2) the x is -3 so if you plug that into the equation it should get you 2 which is the y.

2 = 2(-3) + 8

2 = 2

So we know that (-3, 2) is the solution.

If you plug in the other points they wont come out equal. For example, (4,-1)

-1 = 2(4) + 8

-1 = 16

So (4,-1) cant be a solution. The same thing applies for (2, -3).
