There are none.. :c It just says identify one ordered pair.

For each ordered pair, you just plug it into the equation and evaluate/simplify.

For instance, if you are given the ordered pair (0,3), you plug in x = 0 and y = 3 to get


 8x-5y=-2

 8*0-5*3=-2

0 - 15 = -2

-15 = -2 ... this equation is FALSE

Since the equation above is FALSE, this means that (0,3) is NOT a solution to  8x-5y=-2

If you don't have any ordered pairs, then pick any number you want for x and plug it in for x. Then solve for y to get the corresponding value
