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.
If an ordered pair is a solution to a system of linear equations, then algebraically it returns the same values when substituted appropriately into the x and y variables in each equation. For a very basic example: (0,0) satisfies the linear system of equations given by y=x and y=-2x By substituting in x=0 into both equations, the following is obtained: y=(0) and y=-2(0)=0 x=0 returns y=0 for both equations, which satisfies the ordered pair (0,0). This means that if an ordered pair is a solution to a system of equations, the x of that ordered pair returns the same y for all equations in the system. Graphically, this means that all equations in the system intersect at that point. This makes sense because an x value returns the same y value at that ordered pair, meaning all equations would have the same value at the x-coordinate of the ordered pair. The ordered pair specifies an intersection point of the equations.
The second number in an ordered pair (x,y) is the y-coordinate for that point.
