To find the ordered pair, simply plug in the given information

Start with the given equation

Since the first number of the pair is -1, this means x=-1

Plug in x=-1

Multiply

Add 2 to both sides

Combine like terms on the right side

Divide both sides by -5 to isolate y

Divide

Answer:
So our answer is

So the second number of the pair is 2

So that means the ordered pair is (-1,2)

So the answer is C
