By convention, the plane has four quadrants: (1) the part where x and y are both positive, (2) the diametrically opposite part where x and y are both negative, (3) the part where x is negative and y is positive, and (4) the part where x is positive and y is negative.
An ordered pair can be used to represent a point in any one of these four quadrants.
For instance, (1,5) is in quadrant (1) because both the x and y values are positive; (-3,5) is in quadrant (3) because the x value is negative and the y value is positive.

Ordered pairs that have a negative x and a positive y are in the second quadrant.
The x-coordinate comes first in an ordered pair.

A point, in two dimensional space, is defined as an ordered pair.
An ordered pair gives coordinates and location
