To determine if the point (2, 3) makes the equation \( y = 3x \) true, we can substitute \( x = 2 \) into the equation and check if \( y \) equals 3.
Starting with the equation:
\[
y = 3x
\]
Substituting \( x = 2 \):
\[
y = 3(2) = 6
\]
Thus, when \( x = 2 \), \( y = 6 \).
The point (2, 3) has \( y = 3 \), but according to the equation, when \( x = 2 \), \( y \) should be 6, not 3.
Therefore, (2, 3) does not make the equation \( y = 3x \) true.
