#(0,-4)# and #(-3,-7)#

You just have to sub each point into the equation #x-y=4#

ie Sub #(3,1)# into the equation

LHS: #3-1# = #2#
RHS: #4# which doesn't equal to LHS

Therefore, it isn't a solution of the equation

Sub #(0,-4)#

LHS: #0-(-4)# = #0+4# = #4#
RHS: #4# which equals to LHS

Therefore, it is a solution of the equation
