Usually the first of the two numbers that comprise the ordered pair.
However, in the case of a displacement-time graph, the first is usually the t-coordinate (time) and the x-coordinate is the second (displacement).

Usually, it is the first of the ordered pair and gives the perpendicular distance of the point from the y-axis. In 2-dimensions, this would be the horizontal distance from the vertical axis.
the x-coordinate is 0, apex :)
the first number in an ordered pair is the x coordinate it is one of the values that the independent variable has taken on
FALSE
Which ordered pair describes the location of the point shown on the coordinate system below
The origin, in the Cartesian coordinate system, is the point with coordinates (0, 0). So, if you have another ordered pair, the ordered pair doesn't "have an origin"; rather, the origin is another point.
