You did not provide directions but I'll assume that you want to know if the point given lies on the graph of the linear equation.

Replace x with 8 and y with -2.

If after doing the math the answer is the same on BOTH sides of the equation, then we know for sure that the point is on the line.

4(8) - 2(-2) = 9

32 + 4 = 9

36 DOES NOT equal 9.

So, the point (8, -2) does not lie on the graph of the linear equation given.

If this is not what you want, then provide directions.
