To determine which ordered pair is part of the solution set for the equation \( y = 2x + 5 \), we need to substitute the \( x \)-value of each ordered pair into the equation and see if the resulting \( y \)-value matches.

  1. For the point \( (7, 1) \): \[ y = 2(7) + 5 = 14 + 5 = 19 \quad \text{(not } 1\text{)} \]

  2. For the point \( (1, 2) \): \[ y = 2(1) + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7 \quad \text{(not } 2\text{)} \]

  3. For the point \( (3, -1) \): \[ y = 2(3) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11 \quad \text{(not } -1\text{)} \]

  4. For the point \( (1, 7) \): \[ y = 2(1) + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7 \quad \text{(matches)} \]

The ordered pair that is part of the solution set for the equation \( y = 2x + 5 \) is:

(1, 7)
