To determine which point is a solution to the inequality, we need to substitute the x and y values of each point into the inequality and check if the inequality statement holds true.

Let's substitute the x and y values of each point into the inequality y > 1/9 * x - 2/9:

1) (0, -1/3):
-1/3 > 1/9 * 0 - 2/9
-1/3 > 0 - 2/9
-1/3 > -2/9
This inequality is true, so (0, -1/3) is a solution to the inequality.

2) (0, -1/0):
This point is not valid as the y-coordinate is -1/0, which is undefined (division by zero is undefined). Therefore, (0, -1/0) is not a solution.

3) (0, -2/a):
This point is also not valid as the y-coordinate is -2/a, which is not a specific value without knowing the value of 'a'. Therefore, (0, -2/a) is not a solution.

4) (0, -4/8):
-4/8 > 1/9 * 0 - 2/9
-4/8 > 0 - 2/9
-4/8 > -2/9
This inequality is true, so (0, -4/8) is a solution to the inequality.

Therefore, the points that are solutions to the inequality y > 1/9 * x - 2/9 are:

(0, -1/3) and (0, -4/8)
