Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

No, this equation is not true. If you were to put these coordinates on a graph, or even if you didn't, the plot points (-10, -24) would look like this:

(x, y), or in this case (-x, -y).

The point -10 is the x-coordinate for this problem, and the -24 is the y-coordinate. The question is basically asking if the y-coordinate is -10. It is not, so this equation is not true.

I hope that this helps.
