Beyond the Answer
To determine if the point \( (-1, -3) \) is a solution to the linear equation \( y = x - 2 \), we can substitute \( x = -1 \) into the equation. Calculating: \[ y = -1 - 2 = -3. \] Since \( y \) equals \(-3\) when \( x \) is \(-1\), the point \( (-1, -3) \) satisfies the equation \( y = x - 2 \). Now, for the equation \( y = -1 - 2 \): Calculating: \[ y = -1 - 2 = -3. \] Here, for \( y = -3 \) as well, which is consistent with the y-coordinate of the point \( (-1, -3) \). Thus, \( (-1, -3) \) is indeed a solution to the first equation and produces the same value as the second equation.
