Each table has x = 10 in it. Plug this value into the given equation.
y = -2x+17
y = -2*10+17
y = -20+17
y = -3
The input x = 10 leads to the output y = -3. Table A shows this in the middle-most row. So that's why choice A is the answer. The other tables have x = 10 lead to y values that aren't -3 (eg: choice D has x = 10 lead to y = 12), so we can rule them out.
