    Math Definitions -> O -> Ordered Pair

 Ordered Pair


Two numbers written in a certain order. They are usually written in parentheses like this: (4,5)

Can be used to show the position on a graph, where the "x" (horizontal) value is first, and the "y" (vertical) value is second.

Here the point (12,5) is 12 units along, and 5 units up.
