Answer: The answer is YES.

Step-by-step explanation: The given system of equations is


y=2x+6,\\\\y=-3x-14.

We are to check whether (4, 2) is a solution of the given system or not.

Comparing both the given equations, we have


2x+6=-3x-14\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+3x=-14-6\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=-20\\\\\Rightarrow x=-4,

and


y=2x+6=2*(-4)+6=-2.

Therefore, (-4, -2) is a solution of the given system.

Thus, the answer is YES.
