An ordered pair is two numbers in a given order. There is usually some functional relationship between the two, but not necessarily. The x- and y- coordinates of points on the Cartesian plane are an example of an ordered pair - the first number of the pair is the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate.

Examples:

  • with y = 2x the ordered pairs (0, 0); (1, 2); (2, 4); (3, 6) are points that lie on the line.
  • when measuring the height and foot length of a class there will be a set of ordered pairs (height, foot_length) which gives the height and show size of each individual. These could be plotted on a scatter diagram (with height on the x-axis and foot length on the y-axis), but it is unlikely that there will be a straight line which will pass through all the points.

An ordered pair is a pair of elements in a specific order, typically represented as (x, y) where x is the first element and y is the second element. It is commonly used in mathematics to represent coordinates on a graph or data points in a set.
