Question 102850: 1. explain why (5,-2) and (-2,5) do not represent the same ordered pair.
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Because the first number in the pair ALWAYS represents the x value, and the second number ALWAYS represents the y value (unless specified elsewise!!)!
(5,-2) means that x=5 and y = -2. However, (-2,5) means that x=-2 and y=5.
