A pair of numbers that are used to locate a point on a graph is called a ordered pair and is expressed as (x,y) where x is the location horizontally and y is the location vertically. For example the ordered pair (3,5) would be 3 to the right and 5 up away from the origin of the graph (0,0).

Is called a ordered pair================

They are called coordinates. They need not be horizontal and vertical distances as suggested by the answer above. They could be polar coordinates which are the angle from the horizontal (anticlockwise), and distance from the origin.
