1. **State the problem:** We are given the linear function $y = 2x - 3$ and need to find the corresponding $y$ values for $x = -1, 0, 1$ to get three points on the line.
2. **Formula used:** The function is $y = 2x - 3$. For each $x$ value, substitute into the formula to find $y$.
3. **Calculate for $x = -1$:**
$$y = 2(-1) - 3 = -2 - 3 = -5$$
Point: $(-1, -5)$
4. **Calculate for $x = 0$:**
$$y = 2(0) - 3 = 0 - 3 = -3$$
Point: $(0, -3)$
5. **Calculate for $x = 1$:**
$$y = 2(1) - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1$$
Point: $(1, -1)$
6. **Summary:** The three points on the line are $(-1, -5)$, $(0, -3)$, and $(1, -1)$. These points satisfy the linear function and can be plotted to visualize the line.
