Answer: No, it is not a solution.

Work Shown

y = x-5

4 = 7-5

4 = 2

We don't get the same thing on both sides, so the last equation is false. It means the first equation is false when (x,y) = (7,4).

Therefore the point (7,4) is not a solution to the equation y = x-5

Visually, the point (7,4) is not on the line.
