• It is safe to assume the graph is drawn correctly because (5,-5) is not a solution of the equation, and it is not part of the graph.

• It is safe to assume the graph is drawn correctly because (0,-8) is a solution of the equation, and it is part of the graph.

• It is safe to assume the entire graph is drawn incorrectly because (-4,0) is not a solution of the equation, and it is not part of the graph.

• It is safe to assume the graph is drawn incorrectly because (2,4) is not a solution of the equations, and it is part of the graph.
