Are you sure you typed out the question correctly? If so, all of the possible answer sets provided will not work. In order to have a correct answer in this particular equation (assuming you typed the equation accurately), the variables would have to be a set of multipliers that make each variable set even in order to cancel each other to zero.

the solution makes the equation true.
plug in (-2,0): 2(-2) - 5(0) = -4, not 0
plug in (10,6): 20 - 30 = -10, not 0
plug in (5,0): 10 - 0 = 10, not 0

none of those is a solution.
(0,0) is a solution.
pick any value for x, say 5, and solve for y:
2(5) - 5y = 0
10 = 5y
y = 2
so (5,2) is a solution

Try putting each solution into the equation and see if any of them make sense.

None of those work. Possible solutions are (5,2), (10,4), (15,6), etc.

I think that the correct answer is actually (5,2).
