The process of ascertaining whether a point is a solution involves replacing the point's coordinates into a mathematical equation. If the equation holds true following the replacement, we can consider the point as a solution. Conversely, if the equation does not hold, the point is not a solution. This is a critical principle in the fields of algebra and analytic geometry.
