Answer:

So select "is" true.

Explanation:

So we're given the equation: y = 1/2x - 5.

So the slope is 0.5 or 1/2.

The y-intercept is -5 or (0, -5).

To find if the ordered pair holds true or not we must evaluate.

So we start at:

(0, -5)

(1, -4.5)

(2, -4)

(3, -3.5)

(4, -3)

(5, -2.5)

(6, -2)

- WE ARE INCREASING BY 1/2 AS ITS THE SLOPE!!

Therefore, after evaluating, it can be seen that it does hold true.
