You can put this solution on YOUR website!
given point: (0,9)=(x,y)
x=0
y=9

determine whether (0,9) is a solution of 7x-4y=-6......plug in x=0
and y=9
7%2A0-4%2A9=-6
0-36=-6
-36=-6...left side is not equal to right side; so, (0,9) is not a solution of 7x-4y=-6
let's see it on a graph:
7x-4y=-6..first write it in slope-intercept form
7x%2B6=4y
%287%2F4%29x%2B3%2F2=y

+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%287%2F4%29x%2B3%2F2%29+
as you can see, the point (0,9) is not on a line
