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.

The symbol for an ordered pair is (x,y).
The inverse of an ordered pair (a,b) is the pair (b,a). So you simply switch the order.
The second number in an ordered pair (x,y) is the y-coordinate for that point.
