Answer: Yes

Explanation:

  1. Assuming that (-6, -3) is a coordinate, you just plug in the x and y values.
  2. When doing this you multiply 2 * - 6 and add that to -9 * -3
  3. This gives you -12 + 27 = 15
  4. This gives you 15 = 15
  5. 15 is equal to 15 therefore, this is a solution to the problem.

I hope this makes sense! : )
