    Answer: Yes, it is a solution

    ===================================================

    Explanation:

    Any ordered pair, aka point, is of the form (x,y)

    x is always listed first

    The point (0,-2) means x = 0 and y = -2 pair up together

    Let’s plug them into the equation and simplify everything

    x-2y = 4

    0-2(-2) = 4

    0+4 = 4

    4 = 4

    We end up with a true statement since we get the same thing on both sides, therefore the original equation is true for (x,y) = (0,-2)

    (0,-2) is a solution to the given equation

    Phrased another way: the point (0,-2) is on the line x-2y = 4. This point is the y intercept.
