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.

On the iPad, go to Settings>Wifi, and try to join the iPhone's hotspot from there.
