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


2x-5y=-12 Start with the given equation


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

2%28-1%29-5y=-12 Plug in x=-1


-2-5y=-12 Multiply


-5y=-12%2B2Add 2 to both sides


-5y=-10 Combine like terms on the right side


y=%28-10%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate y



y=2 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is y=2


So the second number of the pair is 2


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


So the answer is C
