An ordered pair has two values. You need to define the absolute value of an ordered pair before the question can be answered. There are many possible metrics.

No, the origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis meet in the coordinate plane. The x value of an ordered pair is called the abscissa (the y value is called the ordinate).
The rule for a set of ordered pairs is the statement that states the relationship of of a certain value to another value.For example:given the set of ordered pair { (1,2) , (3,4) , (5,6) , (7,8) }we notice that the value of y is increased by 1 as the value of x varies.For instance, in the first ordered pair which is (1,2) where 1 is x and 2 is y such that (x,y), 1 increased by 1. In other words, x is increased by 1.So we say that the rule of the ordered pair is:{(x,y) | y = x + 1 }read as "The set of ordered pairs such that y is equal to x plus one"
This kind of question usually accompanies a specific table of ordered pairs. The idea is that the ordered pairs take the form of (x, f(x)) where the first number of the ordered pair x, is a value of the variable for some equation. When that value is used in place of the variable in the equation, we can calculate a specific value. That calculated value appears as the second value of the ordered pair and is represented by f(x) above. Typically the equation is relatively simple, such as a linear equation or a quadratic equation. Therefore, in order to determine the equation, we have to know exactly what the ordered pairs are.
