An ordered pair for the equation \( y = 2.5x - 2 \) can be found by choosing a value for \( x \) and then calculating the corresponding value of \( y \).
For example, let's choose \( x = 0 \):
\[ y = 2.5(0) - 2 = -2 \]
This gives us the ordered pair \( (0, -2) \).
You can choose any value of \( x \) to find other ordered pairs. For instance, if you choose \( x = 2 \):
\[ y = 2.5(2) - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3 \]
This gives the ordered pair \( (2, 3) \).
So, two valid ordered pairs for the equation are \( (0, -2) \) and \( (2, 3) \).
