Plug the values in for x and y.
If both values make the statement true then you have your answer.
Example: (-4,10)
False, so you know that A is not a line containing both (-4,10) and (-7,-5).
There's no need to check point (-7,-5) since the first point already failed.
If the first point yields true, then you must check the second point.

One form for the equation of a line is y-y0 = m(x-x0)
where m=slope and (x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes
Calculating m is just rise/run or (y1-y0) / (x1-x0)
Here you have m = (10-(-5)) / (-4-(-7)) = 15 / 3 = 5
So now you just need to compare the possible answers to
y-y0 = 5(x-x0) <<<— just keep in mind EITHER point given can be assigned to (x0, y0)
Using (-4,10) : y-10 = 5(x+4)
Using (-7,-5): y+5 = 5(x+7)
Comparing these two equation with the answer choices shows only B and D work.
