No, the ordered pair (0, -4) is not a solution to this linear equation -y - x = 4.

In Mathematics and Euclidean Geometry, an ordered pair is a pair of two data points that are commonly written in a fixed order within parentheses as (x, y), which represents the x-coordinate or x-axis (abscissa) and the y-coordinate or y-axis (ordinate) on the coordinate plane of any graph.

In order to determine if the ordered pair is a valid and true solution based on the given linear equation, we would have to test the given ordered pair by substituting its values into the given equation as follows;

-y - x = 4

-4 - 0 = 4

-4 = 4 (False)

Complete Question:

Is the ordered pair a solution of the linear equation. (0, -4); -y -x = 4
