To find an ordered pair on the line, you simply select one half of the pair, and then find what the other value would have to be for the equation to be true. For instance, (0,6) is a valid pair, because if m=0, then n must equal 6 for 2m+n=6. Other valid pairs are (1,4), (-1,8), (5, -4), (1/2, 5), and so forth.

(-2,6). Don't take my word at face value, but I think this is how to do it:
2m + n = 6
n = -2m + 6
This should be the answer if the problem is dealing with slop intercept. If not, then I am completely off base probably. Don't feel bad, I really suck at math!
