Why is the order of the numbers in an ordered pair is important?
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.
How do you make ordered pair?
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.
What is the name of the first number of an ordered pair?
x
The first number in an ordered pair is always called the y-coordinate and the second number is always called the x-coordinate?
Other way around (X,Y)
In this ordered pair (4 -5) which number is the abscissa?
It is 4.
