ordered pair
An ordered pair, depending on the exact kind of math you're doing, may represent a point on a graph, a piece of data, etc. In elementary algebra, an ordered pair generally describes a point on a graph in the format (x, y).
point
This is called plotting the point on the Cartesian or coordinate plane.
It is the geometric representation, in the Cartesian plane, of the ordered pair.
The origin, in the Cartesian coordinate system, is the point with coordinates (0, 0). So, if you have another ordered pair, the ordered pair doesn't "have an origin"; rather, the origin is another point.
A point, in two dimensional space, is defined as an ordered pair.

ordered pair
The data point for an ordered pair (x, y) can be found by looking at the x and y values representing the position of the point in a coordinate system. For example, in the ordered pair (2, 3), the data point can be represented as (2, 3) with 2 being the x-value and 3 being the y-value.
The second number in an ordered pair (x,y) is the y-coordinate for that point.
There is no ordered pair for y =4. y=4 is a line, not a point.
Substitute the values of the ordered pair into the relation. If the equation is valid then the ordered pair is a solution, and if not then it is not.
