Answer:

NO it is not

Explanation:

To check that, we will need to substitute the value of each of the coordinates in each of the equations

10x-y = -6

substitute 1 for x and 6 for y

we have this as;

10(1)-6 = 4

Outrightly, we can see that the given point is not a solution to the given system of equations

however, let us confirm for the second

We have this as;

-10(1) + 5(6)

= -10 + 30 = 20

so we can confirm that it does not work for any of the two and our answer is NO
