Look for the point that does not make the equation true.
This is a very accessible question as all the x values in the choices are negative integers (-4, -3, -2, and -1) and will easily be found on the table.
When x = -4, y = -60 check
When x = -3, y = -24 check
When x = -2, y = -6 check
Um, when x = -1…
Most, if not all students, can build understanding of Math and critically think while gaining points to pass the Regents!  This question from January 2018 asks the student to notice the word not and to find the point that does not belong.
