plug in each option to the equation, if its incorrect at the end its not a solution. Lets start with the first one (10, -52)

ryan123345 · Answer

You plug in the x for x and the y for y remember (x,y)  
So you get       -52=-5(10)-4    Can you solve this?

So its not 10, -52

ryan123345 · Answer

good because at the end you get -52=-54.    So (A) would be not a solution
