To determine if the point \((-7, -9)\) satisfies the inequality \(y < -9\), we need to substitute the \(y\)-coordinate of the point into the inequality.
The \(y\)-coordinate of the point is \(-9\). Now, we check if this satisfies the inequality:
\[
-9 < -9
\]
This statement is **false** because \(-9\) is not less than \(-9\) (they are equal).
Therefore, the point \((-7, -9)\) does not satisfy the inequality \(y < -9\).
