Hello!

You have to put in x and y into the equation and see if it is true

2x + 5y = 17

x = -4, y = 5

2(-4) + 5(5) = 17

-8 + 25 = 17

So (-4, 5) is a solution

Now we do the next one

2(6) + 5(1) = 17

12 + 5 = 17

So (6, 1) is also a solution

2(2) + 5(5) = 17

4 + 25 = 17

29
\\eq 17

So (2, 5) is not a solution

The answers are

A: Yes
B: Yes
C: No

Hope this helps!
