The first coordinate always is called the "x" coordinate, because it goes on the "x" axis, while the second coordinate is always called the "y" coordinate because it always goes on the "y" axis.
Other way around (X,Y)
The second number in an ordered pair (x,y) is the y-coordinate for that point.
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.
On a graph, you have two axis, x and y. In an ordered pair, the first number is the x coordinate, and the second number is the y coordinate. On the x-axis, if the x-coordinate is negative then you go left. If the x-coordinate is positive, then you go right. On the y-axis, it works the same way. If the y-coordinate is negative, you go down, but if it is positive, then you go up. For example, if you had the ordered pair (-7,4), then you would go left seven spaces on the x-axis and up four spaces on the y-axis.

It is the second number in the pair.
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.
