To determine the value of y when x = 5, we can use the given information and the relationship between x and y.

Given:
When x = 10, y = -4

We can assume that there is a linear relationship between x and y, meaning that the relationship can be represented by a straight line.

To find the equation of the line, we can use the point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Using the point (10, -4), we can calculate the slope (m) of the line:

m = (y - y1) / (x - x1) = (-4 - (-4)) / (10 - 10) = 0 / 0

Since the denominator
