There are a lot of them.
2x-5y= -1
y = (2x/5) + 1/5
(0,1/5) is one
(12,5) is another
(1002,401) is another

"THE" ordered pair"?????  There are gazillions of ordered pairs
that satisfy the equation 2x-5y=-1!!!!!

Here are 40 of them:

(-98,-39)  (-93,-37)  (-88,-35)  (-83,-33)  (-78,-31)  (-73,-29)  (-68,-27)
(-63,-25)  (-58,-23)  (-53,-21)  (-48,-19)  (-43,-17)  (-38,-15)  (-33,-13)
(-28,-11)  (-23,-9)   (-18,-7)   (-13,-5)   (-8,-3)    (-3,-1)    (2,1)
(7,3)      (12,5)     (17,7)     (22,9)     (27,11)    (32,13)    (37,15)
(42,17)    (47,19)    (52,21)    (57,23)    (62,25)    (67,27)    (72,29)
(77,31)    (82,33)    (87,35)    (92,37)    (97,39)
