\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ordered pairs are called that because the two coordinates are always in a certain order. If you have an equation in and , then the ordered pair is constructed \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, when you have a partial ordered pair like , since the 8 is in the first position, you know that the 8 represents the value of . Therefore, you can substitute the value 8 in place of in the equation and then do the arithmetic to calculate the value of , which, in this case, is the missing value in your partial ordered pair.\r
