Definition of Ordered Pair
An ordered pair consists of two numbers, written in parentheses and separated by a comma. It tells us which number should be considered first, and which should be considered second.
An ordered pair can be used to represent the position of a point in the \(xy\)-plane. The \(x\)-coordinate (horizontal value) comes first, and the \(y\)-coordinate (vertical value) comes second.
The point \((3,2)\) in the picture is three units to the right of the \(y\)-axis and two units up from the \(x\)-axis.
