Logistic regression is linear when the parameter, $\pi$, that controls the behavior of the Bernoulli response is transformed into a log odds:
$$ \ln\left(\frac{\pi_i}{1-\pi_i}\right) = \beta_0 + \beta_1x_i $$ Your variable PASS is a vector of predicted probabilities. These can be converted into log odds using the LHS of the equation above. Once there, these should form a straight line as a function of RIT. Here is some R code to do this:

oPASS = PASS / (1-PASS)
loPASS = log(oPASS)

A plot of these values shows that there was some rounding in the predicted probabilities that you were given:

You can also see the issue if you look at the loPASS variable:

Thus, we will work with the 7th & 23rd data points to get a reasonably accurate result.

Once we have these values, we can calculate the slope using the point-slope formula, and the intercept, by algebraically rearranging the equation of the line:

b1 = (loPASS[23]-loPASS[7]) / (RIT[23]-RIT[7])
b0 = loPASS[7] - b1*RIT[7]

That yields the parameter estimates that had been used to generate the predicted probabilities that you were given:
