Answer: No (-3,3) is not a solution to y = -3x

========================================================

Explanation:

The point (-3,3) means x = -3 and y = 3 pair up together

So plugging in x = -3 should lead to y = 3 if (-3,3) was a solution

Plug x = -3 into y = -3x to find that

y = -3x

y = -3*(-3)

y = 9

So x = -3 and y = 9 should be the actual pair (not x = -3 and y = 3)

---------------

Put another way

y = -3x

3 = -3(-3) ... replace x with -3 and y with 3

3 = 9 ... which is false

This shows (x,y) = (-3,3) is not a solution
