This first number in an ordered pair is x. And since x is always -5, all these work. (-5,0),(-5,1),(-5,2),(-5,3),(-5,4)

The equation 2x-5y=-1 has a graph that is a line. Every point on that line is an ordered pair that is a solution to the equation. So pick any real number x and plug it in. You will find a y and that pair (x,y) is an ordered pair that is a solution to this equation. For example, let x=0 Then we have -5y=-1so y=1/5 The ordered pair (0, 1/5) is a point on the line and a solution to the equation.
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) y=mx+b

-4y=x is the equation of a line and has infinite solutions. Each solution is an ordered pair. We usually write this as (x,y). It is called an ordered pair because we cannot exchange the x and y in general. So (x,y) does not generally equal (y,x).Now in this case, pick any value for x, say 0, and y is 0. The solution (0,0) is one ordered pair.Now, take x=1 and y=-1/4. So (1, -1/4) is another solution.
