The objective is to verify whether the point (51,58) maes the equation y=x-7.

Substitute the values of x and y coordinate in the given equation.


\begin{gathered} y=x-7 \\ y-x=-7 \\ 58-51=-7 \\ 7=-7 \end{gathered}

Since, LHS is not equal to RHS.

Thus, the coordinate (51,58) does not make the equation y=x-7.

Hence the answer is NO.
