Answer:

the line passes through (0,-5)

Explanation:

hello

The easiest way to check if a coordinate is the solution of an equation is to put the values ​​of x and y in the equation and equality should be maintained

Step 1

(-5,0)

put the values into the equation

x=-5,y=0

x-y=5

(-5)-0=5

-5=5, false (-5,0) is not a point of the line

Step 2

(0,5)

put the values into the equation

x=0,y=5

x-y=5

(0)-5=5

-5=5, false (0,5) is not a point of the line

Step 3

(0,-5)

put the values into the equation

x=0,y=-5

x-y=5

(0)-(-5)=5

5=5, true (0,-5) is a point of the line

hence

the line passes through (0,-5)

have a good day
