To solve the quadratic equation \(-9 + \frac{(x-3)^2}{-4} = -4\), we'll first rearrange the equation to isolate the square term.

1. Start by adding 9 to both sides:
\[
\frac{(x-3)^2}{-4} = -4 + 9
\]
\[
\frac{(x-3)^2}{-4} = 5
\]

2. Multiply both sides by -4:
\[
(x-3)^2 = -20
\]

At this point, we see that \((x-3)^2 = -20\). A square cannot equal a negative number in the set of real numbers. This means that there are no real solutions to this equation. As such, none of the provided values (16, 8, -2, -8, 2, 28, -10, -22) are in the solution set since the solution set is empty.

Thus, the answer is that there are no valid responses to select from the provided options.

Let’s solve the quadratic equation step-by-step again for clarity. The equation given is:

\[
-9 + \frac{(x - 3)^2}{-4} = -4
\]

### Step 1: Isolate the square term

1. First, add 9 to both sides of the equation:
\[
\frac{(x - 3)^2}{-4} = -4 + 9
\]
\[
\frac{(x - 3)^2}{-4} = 5
\]

### Step 2: Eliminate the fraction

2. Next, multiply both sides by -4 to eliminate the fraction:
\[
(x - 3)^2 = -20
\]

### Step 3: Analyze the equation

At this point, \((x - 3)^2 = -20\).

Since the square of a real number cannot equal a negative number, there are no real solutions to this equation. Therefore, the equation has no valid solutions.

### Conclusion

The solution set is empty, meaning none of the provided values (16, 8, -2, -8, 2, 28, -10, -22) are solutions to the equation.

Thus, **there are no values from the options that are in the solution set**.
