Final answer:

No, the ordered pair (0, 8) is not a solution of the linear equation 4x - y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the ordered pair (0, 8) is a solution of the linear equation 4x - y = 8.

To check if the ordered pair is a solution, substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if the equation is true. In this case, substituting x = 0 and y = 8 into the equation gives us:

4(0) - 8 = 8

0 - 8 = 8

-8 = 8

Since -8 does not equal 8, the equation is false, meaning that the ordered pair is NOT a solution. Therefore, the correct answer is b. False.
