                    It is as simple a a cucumber. 


You simply write  2x + 5y = 2*(-10) + 5*1,  artlessly substituting the coordinates (-10,1) instead of x and y into the formula.


Then you calculate right side value  2*(-10) + 5 = -15.


Now your equation is  2x + 5y = -15.    ANSWER


At this point, the solution is complete.
