Answer: (0, -7/5) , (1, -4/5), (2, -1/5)

Explanation:

There are an infinite number of answers. I chose the simplest which was to let x = {0, 1, 2} and solve for y.

x = 0: 3(0) - 5y = 7

0 -5y = 7

y = -7/5

(0, -7/5)

x = 1: 3(1) - 5y = 7

3 - 5y = 7

-5y = 4

y = -4/5

(1, -4/5)

x = 2: 3(2) - 5y = 7

6 - 5y = 7

-5y = 6

y = -1/5

(2, -1/5)
