To answer this question, we have here a linear function. We can give the function some values for x that must be integers, and we need that the values for y must be integer too.

Therefore, we have that:

For x = 1

We need to substitute the value of x into the equation, and then the result will be the value for y.


y=-2(1)-3\Rightarrow y=-2-3\Rightarrow y=-5

Therefore, one integer solution is (1, -5).

For x = 2

We can follow the previous procedure as follows:


y=-2(2)-3\Rightarrow y=-4-3\Rightarrow y=-7

Therefore, another solution is (2, -7).

For x = 0

We have:


y=-2(0)-3\Rightarrow y=-3

Therefore, another solution is (0, -3).

In summary, the integer solutions can be (1, -5), (2, -7) and (0, -3).
