$x=3/(-2)$

Since they provided you with $(?,0)$ and $-2x+y=3$
you would complete the ordered pair by substituting 0 for y in the equation in order to find $?$

$-2x+ 0=3$

$-2x=3$ (Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the variable)

$x=3/(-2)$

$? = 3/(-2)$

Check your answer by plugging in $x=3/(-2)$ and $y=0$ into the given equation:

$-2(3/(-2)) + 0 = 3$

$3=3$
