Answer: The first number refers to the x coordinate (horizontal). The second number is the y coordinate (vertical).

Answer: Actually, it is customary to use "x" and "y" in that order, but any variables may be used. For example, for some purposes, time is used on the horizontal axis. In any case, if the ordered pair refers to coordinates, the first number is called the "abscissa", and the second one, the "ordinate".
