By convention, 'x' is almost always the independent variable,
but it doesn't have to be.
Y-axis
In the ordered pair (20, 140), the first value, 20, typically represents the independent variable or the input of a function, while the second value, 140, represents the dependent variable or the output. In a specific context, such as a graph or data set, these values could signify measurements, such as time and distance, or any other two correlated variables. The exact meaning depends on the context in which the ordered pair is used.
It is called the abscissa.
(x,y) or (variable that cones first in the alphabet, variable that comes second in the alphabet)
On whichever variable is considered the y-variable. It would be the second element of each ordered pair of data points.
Y-axis
the first number in an ordered pair is the x coordinate it is one of the values that the independent variable has taken on
the first number in an ordered pair is the x coordinate it is one of the values that the independent variable has taken on
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.
The idea is to replace one variable in the equation by the first number in the ordered pair, the other variable with the second number in the ordered pair, do the calculations, and see whether the resulting expressions are indeed equal.

Any ordered pair that makes the set true
Yes, a coordinate plane can represent multiple ordered pairs, as each pair corresponds to a specific point on the plane. For example, the point (2, 3) can be represented as (2, 3) or by using different forms, such as polar coordinates. However, each unique ordered pair corresponds to one distinct point in the Cartesian coordinate system.
It is called a graph. Graphs consist of many such points.
