Solve for y and evaluate it; you are GIVEN x.


SOLVE THE EQUATION FOR y.
2y=10-5x
y=10%2F2-5x%2F2
y=5-5x%2F2


YOU HAVE AN ORDERED PAIR CLEARLY SHOWING THE x VALUE;
USE THAT GIVEN VALUE TO EVALUATE y.
y=5-5%28-2%29%2F2
YOU FINISH THIS!!

All you have to do is SUBSTITUTE - 2 for x in the equation, and solve for y. 

(- 2, _) is the same as: (x, y), so - 2 is given as the value for x, and now you just need to place the value for y.

That's it....nothing COMPLEX!
