You don't pair an iPhone to an iPad for Hotspot service. Assuming you have the ability to use Hotspot from your iPhone (this is a carrier provided feature, so contact them if you don't currently have Hotspot on your iPhone), you open Settings > Wifi on your iPad and look for your iPhone to connect to its Hotspot. Again, this assumes your iPhone actually has Hotspot from your carrier as an available option.
