So just plug in the numbers (x,y) into the equations.

A) (7.5, -5)

2(7.5) -5 = 10

15 - 5 = 10 yup, this works.

Let's see if it works for other equation.

-2(7.5) + 2(-5) = 5

-15 - 10 = 5 nope, this does not work.

B) (-2.5, -5)

2(-2.5) - 5 = 10

-5 - 5 = 10 nope, doesn't work

Since it doesn't work we don't need to try for other equation.

C) (2.5, 5)

2(2.5) + 5 = 10

5 + 5 = 10 yup, this works.

Now the other equation.

-2(2.5) + 2(5) = 5

-5 + 10 = 5 and this works.

So the solution to this set is answer choice C
