What is the first value in ordered pair and second value?
First value: abscissa, is the distance from the origin along the horizontal axis (usually the x-axis). Second value: ordinate, is the distance from the origin along the vertical axis (usually the y-axis).
Is there a difference between meters per second and meters?
Yes. The first is a speed (or velocity), the second is a distance.
How many feet are there between first and second base?
90 feet, the same as distance between home and first
Why is an ordered pair important?
It is only important in the context of two dimensional coordinate geometry. If based on Cartesian coordinates, the first element of the ordered pair associated with any point gives the horizontal distance and the second the vertical distance of the point from a fixed origin. In a radial system, the first gives the distance and the second the angle (with respect to the right horizontal line going to the right). There are other options as well.
When naming a pair of coordinates which?
First: horizontal: Abscissa Second: vertical: ordinate.
