The pair (2, 3) is the same as the pair (3, 2) but the ORDERED pair (2, 3) is NOT the same as the ORDERED pair (3, 2). In an ordered pair the order of the numbers does matter.

In terms of a normal graph (the Cartesian Coordinate System) an ordered pair is identified by the simple means of putting one member on the left (the x axis) and the other on the right (the y axis) and separating the two with a comma, like this: (3,4). That is an ordered pair. It is not the same as (4,3) because the order matters.
