To find the answer to this question, we need to plug in "83" into "x" and "43" into "y" to see if the equation holds true or not.

Let's check:

$\begin{gathered} y=2x-3 \\ 43\stackrel{?}{=}2(83)-3 \\ 43\stackrel{?}{=}166-3 \\ 43\\eq163 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the point (83, 43) doesn't satisfy the equation y = 2x - 3.
