Answer:

Yes.

(2, 23) is a solution for the equation y = 9x + 5

Explanation:

(2, 23) means that for an x value of 2, the y value should be 23

The equation is y = 9x + 5

Substitute x = 2 on the right side

y = 9(2) + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23

Since this matches the given value of y =23, we can conclude that

(2, 23) is a solution for y = 9x + 5
