Hi, you haven't provided the equation that you need order pairs for.

Therefore, I'll just explain how to find order pairs in general and you can apply the same method to the the equation you have

Answer with explanation:

Order pairs of any equation are (x,y) values that satisfy this equation

To get them, the simplest way is to assume a value for x, use this value to substitute in the equation you have and then solve for the corresponding y

Example:

Consider the equation: x + 2y = 8

at x = 0: 0 + 2y = 8 ............> 2y = 8 ..........> y = 4 ............> order pair is (0,4)

at x = 2: 2 + 2y = 8 ............> 2y = 6 ..........> y = 3 ............> order pair is (2,3)

at x = 4: 4 + 2y = 8 ............> 2y = 4 ..........> y = 2 ............> order pair is (4,2)

Now, we can say that (0,4), (2,3) and (4,2) are order pairs that satisfy the given equation

For your equation:

1- Assume value of x

2- Substitute with that value in the equation

3- Solve the equation for the corresponding y

4- The order par pair would be:

(assumed x value , corresponding calculated y value)

Hope this helps :)
