I assume you meant x^2 - y = 7
let's sub in the given point
Left Side = (-2)^2 - (-3)
= 4 + 3
= 7
Right Side = 7
Mmmhh, what do you think?

I think that makes sense, although I used 2 computer based calculators that told me the solution was -1. So the annswer is 7 and solution is a true statement.

- (-3) = + 3
I think you probably told the calculator 4 - 3 = 1 but it is 4 -(-3) = 4+3 = 7
