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.
