Put the value where the variable is and do the arithmetic.
h(x) = -3x -4
h(0) = -3·0 -4 = 0 -4
h(0) = -4

<em>Additional comment</em>
In general, a polynomial function evaluated when the variable is zero will have the value of any added constant. All of the variable terms will be zero. Since the constant in this function is -4, we know immediately that h(0) = -4.
