Arbitrarily select 55 different values for xx
then use the given equation to find corresponding yy values
thus generating an ordered pair for each of your 55 selections.

Explanation:

Example:
Suppose we decide for our set of xx values to use {0,1,2,3,4}{0,1,2,3,4}

Using y=-5x+4y=−5x+4 to evaluate the "corresponding "ycorresponding y for each value of xx:

{: (underline(x),color(white)("XX"),underline("corresponding "y),color(white)("XX"),underline("ordered pair")), (0,,color(white)("XXXX")4,,(0,4)), (1,,color(white)("XXX")-1,,(1,-1)), (2,,color(white)("XXX")-6,,(2,-6)), (3,,color(white)("XXX")-11,,(3,-11)), (4,,color(white)("XXX")-16,,(4,-16)) :}
