Solution:

Given:


\begin{gathered} \text{The equation } \\ y=6x-4 \end{gathered}

The points that are solutions to the equation are the points that satisfy the equation and make it true.

When x = -3,


\begin{gathered} y=6x-4 \\ y=6(-3)-4 \\ y=-18-4 \\ y=-22 \\ \\ \text{Hence, when x = -3, y = -22} \\ \text{Therefore, the point (-3,-14) is not a solution to the equation} \end{gathered}

When x = -2,


\begin{gathered} y=6x-4 \\ y=6(-2)-4 \\ y=-12-4 \\ y=-16 \\ \\ \text{Hence, when x = -2, y = -}16 \\ \text{Therefore, the point (-2,-16) is a solution to the equation} \end{gathered}
