Yes, it is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -10x + - 4

The given point: (0, -4)

To know if it is a solution, we need to replace the y and x with the points given.

If the result on the left hand side is the same as the right hand side then, it is a solution

x =0, y = -4

-4 = -10(0) + -4

-4 = 0 + (-4)

Multiplication of same sign gives positive number. Multiplication of opposite signs give negative number.

-4 = 0 - 4

-4 = -4

The left hand side is the same as the right hand side. Hence, it is a solution
