Complete the ordered pairs so that they are solutions of the given linear equation.
-y = -4x - 24; (-7, ), (-24, ), (0, )
A)(-7, 4)(-24, -24)(0, -24)
B)(-7, 4)(-24, 72)(0, 72)
C)(-7, 4)(-24, 72)(0, -24)
D)(-7, -7)(-24, 72)(0, -24)

To find the missing y-coordinate for each ordered pair, we substitute the given x-coordinate into the equation y = -4x - 24 and simplify:
- When x = -7, y = -4(-7) - 24 = 4
- When x = -24, y = -4(-24) - 24 = 72
- When x = 0, y = -4(0) - 24 = -24
Therefore, the ordered pairs are (-7, 4), (-24, 72), and (0, -24). These ordered pairs are only found in choice C. To complete the ordered pairs, substitute the given x-values into the equation and solve for y. 
For (-7, ): y = -4(-7) - 24 = 4
For (-24, ): y = -4(-24) - 24 = 72
For (0, ): y = -4(0) - 24 = -24
Only answer choice C has these three solutions: (-7, 4), (-24, 72), and (0, -24).
