Does the point (4, 0) satisfy the equation y = –5x + 4?

You just have to input the coordinate values into the equation
So...
0 = -5(4) + 4
0 = -20 + 4
0= - 16

So no this is wrong as they do not equal.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

no

Explanation:

y = –5x + 4

Substitute the point into the equation

0 = -5(4) +4

0 = -20+4

0 = -16

This is not true so it is not a solution to the equation
