To determine if the point \((-2, -7)\) makes the equation \(y = x\) true, we need to check if substituting \(x = -2\) gives us \(y = -7\).
In the equation \(y = x\),
- If \(x = -2\), then \(y\) should also be \(-2\).
However, in the point, \(y = -7\).
Since \(-7\) does not equal \(-2\), the point \((-2, -7)\) does not satisfy the equation \(y = x\).
Thus, the answer is **false**.
