Substitute the x and y values of each ordered pair into the equation and see if the equation is true.
A. y = -5(-15) + 10 = 75 + 10 = 85, which is not equal to 5. Therefore, (–15, 5) is not a solution of the equation.
B. y = -5(2) + 10 = 0, which is equal to 0. Therefore, (2, 0) is a solution of the equation.
C. y = -5(-1) + 10 = 15, which is not equal to -5. Therefore, (–1, –5) is not a solution of the equation.
D. y = -5(3) + 10 = -5, which is equal to -5. Therefore, (3, 25) is not a solution of the equation.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. (2, 0)
