Yes and no.

In two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, the answer is usually yes. So the point (4,7) has x value 4 and y value 7.

But there are other uses for ordered pairs. For example in polar coordinates a point is specified by an ordered pair (r, theta), and the second number is an angle. You need to know what context you are working in.

How do you know when an ordered pair could not be in a function?

Evaluate the function at the first number in the pair. If the answer is not equal to the second value, then the ordered pair cannot be in the function.


The first number in an ordered pair is the x-value and the second number is the y-value These two numbers are called the of the point?

Cartesian coordinates. Also, the abscissa and the ordinate.


What is the second value in an ordered pair?

y


When plotting points on a graph which comes first y number or x number?

Traditionally, ordered pairs are given with the x value first and the y value second: (x,y).


What is y coordinate?

The vertical value in a pair of coordinates. How far up or down the point is. The Y Coordinate is always written second in an ordered pair of coordinates.

The digit with the second greatest value in the number is '1'. its value is second to the largest number which is 2.


What equation best describes the table of ordered pairs?

This kind of question usually accompanies a specific table of ordered pairs. The idea is that the ordered pairs take the form of (x, f(x)) where the first number of the ordered pair x, is a value of the variable for some equation. When that value is used in place of the variable in the equation, we can calculate a specific value. That calculated value appears as the second value of the ordered pair and is represented by f(x) above. Typically the equation is relatively simple, such as a linear equation or a quadratic equation. Therefore, in order to determine the equation, we have to know exactly what the ordered pairs are.

What is a positive number minus a negative number?

a negative number minus a negative number is a negative number plus a negative number the answer depends on the value of the first number if the first number's absolute value is larger than the second number's absolute value than the answer is negative if the first number's absolute value is less than the second number's absolute value than the answer is positive
