Explanation:

To add on to what @Ladybug said, here are some examples. Say I want #x = 7#. Plug that into the equation and get the resulting #y# value:

#y=3x-5#
#y = 3(7) - 5#
#y= 21 - 5#
#y = 16#

So the first ordered pair would be #(7,16)#. You can choose any value for #x#, and find a result for #y# to make an ordered pair.
