Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation: x y

First thing you have to do is plug y in for y. (3,3)

y= -2x+3

3= 2x+3

Then plug in x for x.

3 = -2(3) +3

Then solve the problem.

3= -6+3

3 = -3

From there we can tell that negative 3 is not the same as positive 3. Another thing you can do is go to desmos graphing calculator and type the equation in and see where the point (3,3) is located and notice that it does not go through the line from the equation.
