the ordered pair is the pair of numbers, x and y, that work together to make an equation solution
in other words, an ordered pair is an "x" value, and the "y" value that is calculated for that "x" value with the referenced equation
for example, in this problem, the equation is provided and also three "x" values
to get the first ordered pair then, take the first x value given, put it in the equation in place of x, and calculate the corresponding y value, like so:
y=-3x+4 (for x=-3)
y=-3*(-3)+4
y=9+4
y=13
the ordered pair (x,y) is therefore (-3,13)
the other answers to this problem are found the same way
put "0" and "6" in for x in the equation, and calculate the y that goes with each to get two more (x,y) ordered pairs
good luck

Plug the values for x into the equation given. This will give you a few points as a start in the (x,y) form.
Let's see:
y = -3x + 4 when x = { -3, 0, 6 }?
y = -3(-3) + 4
y = 9 + 4
y = 13
First point (-3,13).
Next:
y = -3(0) + 4
y = 0 + 4
y = 4
Second point: (0,4).
Last one:
y = -3(6) + 4
y = -18 + 4
y = 14.
Third point: (6,-14)

y = -3x + 4
y = -3(-3) + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13
y = -3(0) + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4
y = -3(6) + 4 = -18 + 4 = -14
ANS :
(-3,13), (0,4), (6,-14)
