(6,1) is a solution to the system:

−2+=−11

−−9=−15

Remember that

If an ordered pair is a solution of the system, then the ordered pair must satisfy both equations

Verify equation 1

For x=6 and y=1

substitute in equation 1

-2(6)+(1)=-11 -------> -12+1=-11 ------> is true

ordered pair satisfy equation 1

Verify equation 2

For x=6 and y=1

-(6)-9(1)=-15 -------> -6-9=-15 -----> is true

ordered pair satisfy equation 2

therefore

answer is true
