An ordered pair has to be in parentheses and there has to be a comma in between the numbers (example: (2,6). An ordered pair is for a coordinate graph.
Because otherwise it would not be an "ordered" pair.
In the ordered pair (a, b), the object a is called the first entry, and the object b the second entry of the pair. Alternatively, the objects are called the first and second coordinates, or the left and right projections of the ordered pair.
An ordered pair can contain any valid numbers - integers, fractions, decimals, or even complex numbers.
The pair (2, 3) is the same as the pair (3, 2) but the ORDERED pair (2, 3) is NOT the same as the ORDERED pair (3, 2). In an ordered pair the order of the numbers does matter.
An ordered pair
An ordered pair has to be in parentheses and there has to be a comma in between the numbers (example: (2,6). An ordered pair is for a coordinate graph.
Because otherwise it would not be an "ordered" pair.
In the ordered pair (a, b), the object a is called the first entry, and the object b the second entry of the pair. Alternatively, the objects are called the first and second coordinates, or the left and right projections of the ordered pair.
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.
An ordered pair can contain any valid numbers - integers, fractions, decimals, or even complex numbers.
The pair of numbers are called "coordinates".
The pair (2, 3) is the same as the pair (3, 2) but the ORDERED pair (2, 3) is NOT the same as the ORDERED pair (3, 2). In an ordered pair the order of the numbers does matter.
The numbers in the parenthesis represent the ordered pair for x and y. The x axis is horizontal and the y axis is vertical. When plotting the ordered pair, move across the horizontal axis for the first number and along the vertical axis for the second number.
