You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are many ordered pairs for that equation (an infinite number, really).
An ordered pair for such an equation is written as two numbers separated by a comma, and the whole thing wrapped in brackets. The first number is a value for x; the second number is the corresponding value for y.
One ordered pair for that equation could be (1,11). Another pair could be (5,51).
That equation represents a relation between two quantities represented by x and y.
The variable x could be the number of weeks since you opened a checking account started with a $1 deposit, and y could the balance in that account.
We like to graph relations, and y = 10x + 1 would be graphed as the slanted line below.
The location of each point in that graph is represented by an ordered pair pair (x,y).
To graph the relation, you make a table of values for x and y. You could chose values for one variable, then calculate the corresponding value for the other variable.
It could look like this:

An "ordered pair" is a pair (a,b) where the ORDER in which the values are written carries meaning. For instance, (3,4) in the coordinate plane is understood to be the point where x=3 and y=4 (that is, we write the x value first and the y value 2nd, by convention). Writing (4,3) would mean x=4 and y=3 which is an entirely different point in the plane.
For y=10x+1, the corresponding ordered pairs are (x, 10x+1). In words: for any x you plug in, the corresponding y value will be that number times 10, plus 1.
