If you asking to complete the ordered pair (?, -9) then just plug -9 into the equation in place of y and find out what x value makes the result true.
-9 = 2x + 5
-14 = 2x
x = -7
Any other ordered pair can be determined by picking the value of x you are interested in selecting, plugging it in, and calculating the associated y value then putting that x and y into an ordered pair form (x, y)
