To determine if the point (3, 3) makes the equation \( y = 5x \) true, we can substitute \( x = 3 \) into the equation and see if it results in \( y = 3 \).
Substituting \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = 5(3) = 15
\]
Now we compare this result to the \( y \)-coordinate of the point (3, 3), which is 3.
Since \( 15 \neq 3 \), the point (3, 3) does not satisfy the equation \( y = 5x \). So, the answer is **no**, (3, 3) does not make the equation true.
