To find how much Mr. Brown will make after teaching for 3, 4, and 5 years, we can substitute the values of $y$ into the function $s = 1,500y + 40,000$.

For $y = 3$: \[ s = 1,500(3) + 40,000 = 4,500 + 40,000 = 44,500 \] So for 3 years, Mr. Brown will make $44,500$.
For $y = 4$: \[ s = 1,500(4) + 40,000 = 6,000 + 40,000 = 46,000 \] So for 4 years, Mr. Brown will make $46,000$.
For $y = 5$: \[ s = 1,500(5) + 40,000 = 7,500 + 40,000 = 47,500 \] So for 5 years, Mr. Brown will make $47,500$.

Now we can summarize the results:

After 3 years: $ (3, 44,500) $
After 4 years: $ (4, 46,000) $
After 5 years: $ (5, 47,500) $

The correct answer is: (3, 44,500), (4, 46,000), and (5, 47,500).
