Connect 2015 MacBook to iMac 2009

I have an early 2015 MacBook with USBC port and a 27 inch late 2009 iMac. The iMac doesn't have a thunderbolt port, but has a mini display port. Is it possible to connect them to make the iMac a target display monitor?

MacBook, macOS 10.15

The Late 2009 27" iMac supports Target Display Mode using a Mini DisplayPort cable.

To make it work, you need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter cable.
