One order pair is ( 2, 0 )

Another order pair ( 0, -2 )

Explanation:

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.
