Does (–1, –79) make the equation y = 79x true?

To determine if the point (-1, -79) satisfies the equation y = 79x, we can substitute the x and y values from the point into the equation.

The equation is y = 79x.

Substitute -1 for x and -79 for y:

-79 = 79(-1)

Simplify the right side of the equation:

-79 = -79

The left side of the equation equals the right side of the equation, so the point (-1, -79) does make the equation y = 79x true.
