First draw a Cartesian plane. This is a plane with two axes on it: a horizontal line which is referred to as the x-axis and a vertical line, the y-axis. The two axes meet at the origin, O, which represents the ordered pair (0, 0). Measure out numbers on the x-axis according to some scale and do the same on the y-axis. These scales can be different.

For each ordered pair, (p, q), start from the origin and move p units to the right (along the x-axis) and q units upwards (along the y-axis). The end point is the plot of that ordered pair, (p, q). Repeat for other pairs and, if required, join these points together.

There are also quite a few videos on YouTube.com that explain the concepts involved. I've put the URL for one of them in the link. If you would like to explore other youtube videos just do a search for ordered pair.
