$(-1,2)$ does not lie on $y=-2x+3$

Explanation:

$(color(red)(-1),color(blue)(2))$ is a point on $color(blue)(y)=-2color(red)(x)+3$
if (and only if)
$y=color(blue)(2)$ when $x=color(red)(-1)$ in $y=-2x+3$

$y=-2(color(red)(-1))+3=+2+3=color(green)(5)$

Since $color(green)(5) != color(blue)(2)$
$(-1,2)$ does not lie on the line $y=-2x+3$
