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.
