For how many ordered pairs of positive integers (x,y)  does the equation  1x+2y=13 hold?

 

1x+2y=13

 

x=0 and y = zero are both asymptotes.

as x tends to infinity    y tends to 6

as y tends to infinity     x tends to 3

 

1x+2y=132y=131x2y=x33xy2=3xx3y=6xx3

 

for y to be positive x>3

For x to be positive y>6

 

I found these points using  EXCEL.   I found 6 ordered pairs.
