ANSWER:

(-4, 1)

Explanation:

We have the following equation:


y=(x)/(2)+3

We know the value of x which is equal to -4, we substitute to calculate the value of y. Just like that:


\begin{gathered} y=(-4)/(2)+3 \\ y=-2+3 \\ y=1 \end{gathered}

The value of y is 1, therefore the ordered pair is (-4, 1)
