The pair (2, 3) is the same as the pair (3, 2) but the ORDERED pair (2, 3) is NOT the same as the ORDERED pair (3, 2). In an ordered pair the order of the numbers does matter.

This term is used when the order of two or more numbers matters. For example, the coordinate (0, 5) is NOT the same as the coordinate (5, 0).
