Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, (-5, -4) is not a solution to the system of equations. In order for a point to be a solution to a system of equations, the lines have to intersect at that point in a graph. Looking at the given graph, the lines do not intersect at (-5, -4), but at (-4, -5) instead. Thus, (-5, -4) is not a solution.
