Answer:

Option A. is the solution

Explanation:

The equation of the line is y = - 9x + 4

We will plug in the values of each ordered pair given in the options. If they satisfy the equation, will be the solution of the eqaution.

Option A.

(10, -86)

-86 = - 9(10) + 4

-86 = -90 + 4

-86 = -86

Therefore, this ordered pair is the solution of the equation.

Option B.

(-4, -58)

-58 = -9(-4) + 4

-58 = 36 + 4

-58 = 40

Not the solution of the equation.

Option C.

(6, -41)

-41 = -9(6) + 4

-41 = -54 + 4

-41 = -50

Not the solution of the equation.

Option D.

(-6, 57)

57 = -9(-6) + 4

57 = 54 + 4

57 = 58

Not the solution of the equation.
