Full Solution
$x^2/2+5/y =7$
$\Rightarrow x^2/2=7y/5$
$\Rightarrow x^2y=14y-10$
$\Rightarrow y(14-x^2)=10$
$10=1×10=2×5=(-2)×(-5)$
$y=1 \Rightarrow 14-x^2=10\Rightarrow x^2=4\Rightarrow x=+5,-5$
$y=2 \Rightarrow 14-x^2=5 \Rightarrow x^2=9 \Rightarrow x=+3,-3$
$y=-5 \Rightarrow 14-x^2=-2 \Rightarrow x^2=16 \Rightarrow x=+4,-4$
So the integral values of ($x,y$) are ($5,1$),($-5,1$),($3,2$),($-3,2$),($4,-5$),($-4,-5$) [Answer]
