because....
idk why are you asking me btw this site is useless dont come here
The convention for the Cartesian coordinate system is, the first number is the x coordinate, and the second number is the y coordinate. That's the order.
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.
no
You are going to have a x axis and a y axis on your coordinate graph. Let's say that the number in the x axis is 3 and the number on the y axis is -5. The x axis will bring the x coordinate, which is he 1st number in the ordered pair. The y axis will bring you the y coordinate, which is the second number of an ordered pair. This means that 3, the number on the x axis is first and -5, the number on the y axis is second. In this example, the ordered pair is (3,-5). So pretty much, an ordered pair is (x coordinate, y coordinate). Thank you for reading my answer.
Because otherwise it would not be an "ordered" pair.
ordered; I ordered a chocolate milkshake. You ordered a chocolate milkshake. He ordered a chocolate milkshake. We ordered a chocolate milkshake. They ordered a chocolate milkshake.
Ordered pairs are used to locate points on the graph. The first number in an ordered pair corresponds to the horizontal axis, and the second corresponds to the vertical axis.
The coordinates of a point in the n-space are ordered sets of n numbers, each of which measures the distance of the point from the origin along the n-axes in a given order.
If cartesian coordinates are used then the second number in an ordered pair is the y coordinate, also known as the ordinate. If polar coordinates are used then the second number is the angle.
Answer: The first number refers to the x coordinate (horizontal). The second number is the y coordinate (vertical). Answer: Actually, it is customary to use "x" and "y" in that order, but any variables may be used. For example, for some purposes, time is used on the horizontal axis. In any case, if the ordered pair refers to coordinates, the first number is called the "abscissa", and the second one, the "ordinate".
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.
