To check if a coordinate pair is a point on the parabola, substitute the x and y values into the equation and see if they are true.

Let's check each option:

For (-1, 13):

Substituting x = -1 and y = 13 into the equation:
13 = -4(-1)^2 - 53(-1) - 56
13 = -4 - (-53) - 56
13 = -4 + 53 - 56
13 = 49 - 56
13 = -7

Since 13 does not equal -7, the coordinate pair (-1, 13) is not a point on the parabola.

For (-4, -56):

Substituting x = -4 and y = -56 into the equation:
-56 = -4(-4)^2 - 53(-4) - 56
-56 = -4(16) - (-212) - 56
-56 = -64 + 212 - 56
-56 = 148 - 56
-56 = -56

The coordinates (-4, -56) satisfy the equation, so it is a point on the parabola.

For (-1, -7):

Substituting x = -1 and y = -7 into the equation:
-7 = -4(-1)^2 - 53(-1) - 56
-7 = -4 - (-53) - 56
-7 = -4 + 53 - 56
-7 = 49 - 56
-7 = -7

The coordinates (-1, -7) also satisfy the equation, so it is a point on the parabola.

Therefore, the point (-4, -56) and (-1, -7) are both points on the parabola y = -4x^2 - 53x - 56.
