You have the following equation given in the exercise:


y=x

That equation is read as "y is equal to x". That means that the value of the variable "y" and the value of the variable "x" are equal.

In this case, you have the following point:


(5,1)

You can identify that the x-coordinate is:


x=5

And its y-coordinate is:


y=1

If you substitute these values into the equation, you get:


1=5(False)

The answer is: No, it does not make the equation true.
