In simple terms, it doesn't matter. x<6 is the same as 6>x.

How is graphing a linear inequality on a coordinate plane different from graphing an inequality on a number line?
The first is 2-dimensional, the second is 1-dimensional.
Does the x axis number or the y axis number come first in an ordered pair?
The x number comes first.
Why does the inequality symbol need to be reversed when multiplying or by a negative number?
Use two arbitrary numbers represented by the letters A and B. Now divide the question into a few cases. Case 1. A < B and both are positive. Take any A and B and put them on your number line. Now look at the opposite of B which is -B and notice it will be farther to the left than -A which is the opposite of A. So we have -B<-A which we can written as -A>-B. So for the first case, we see why we reverse the inequality symbol. Case 2. Now look at A<B where both are negative. The exact same thing that happens in case 1 above, happens in this case. Try two number, say -2 and -1. Case 3. Now say A is negative and B is positive. The other way around is the same thing. So Since A is negative, its opposite is positive and the opposite of B is negative. Any negative number is smaller than a positive number. So once again, we reverse the inequality symbol. Try all three of these cases with some positive and negative number and a number line and you will see how this works, then generalize to A and B where they are arbitrary numbers. This is the way mathematician often prove things. They first use numbers and then generalize.
Which mathematicians first used the symbol pi and why?
Any mathematician will use the number pi (and its symbol) sooner or later - it is a number used extensively in many different areas of mathematics.

What goes first in a triganometry problem the degrees or the number?
For angle measurements, the degree symbol comes after the number: like 30°, 45°, 90°, etc.
What is the symbolic number of numerals?
The symbol for the number of rational numbers is Aleph-Null (Aleph being the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet - in fact that is where the word "alphabet" comes from!) The symbol for the number of real numbers is C (standing for continuum).
