Answer

Compare this y-value with the y-coordinate of the given point, we find that \(-2 \neq \frac{1}{2}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Substitute x=3 into the equation, we get \(y=\frac{2*3-5}{3+1} = \frac{1}{2}\)

Step 2 :Compare this y-value with the y-coordinate of the given point, we find that \(-2 \neq \frac{1}{2}\)
