Step-by-step explanation:
When an ordered pair refers to the location of a point in the coordinate plane, they are called the coordinates of the point. The order is important because a point named by the ordered pair ( 5, 3 ) is not at the same location as the point named by the ordered pair ( 3, 5 ).
It is important to graph terms of ordered pairs in the correct order on a coordinate plane so that the coordinate plane will give a correct representation of the graph and the proper point (location) will be plotted
On a graph:
The horizontal axis represents the x-coordinate
The vertical axis represents the y-coordinate
The correct order of graphing a coordinate plane is (x, y)
This means that we locate the x-coordinate on the horizontal axis, and the y-coordinate on the vertical axis
If the terms of an ordered pair is graphed in the wrong order (y, x), it means that the y -coordinate will be plotted on the horizontal axis, and the x-coordinate will be plotted on the vertical axis. This will make the coordinate plane to represent the wrong graph
