One order pair is #( 2, 0 )#

Another order pair #( 0, -2 )#

What ordered pairs are the options?

Pick a value for #x# and solve for #y#. Or find the intercepts.

If #x=2#, then:

# y = 2-2 #

#rArr y = 0#

So we have #(2,0)#

If #x=0#, then:

# y = 0 -2 #

#rArr y = -2#

Here we have #(0,-2)#

You can simply use #0# for both #x# and #y# (intercept) to get the same answer.
