3. Does it matter which number comes first in an ordered pair? Explain.

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you have the order pair (5,2) and you go up first instead of over first then that would be the order pair (2,5) wich would be a different point on the graph. Always go over and then up.

Yes, the order of the numbers in an ordered pair does matter and here’s why:

If you think about an ordered pair, you know that the first number is the x-coordinate and the second number is the y-coordinate. On a graph, the x-coordinate tells you how far left or right the point is (positive goes right and negative goes left) and the y-coordinate tells you how far up or down the point is (positive goes up and negative goes down). If you have an ordered pair (6,2) for example, if you started at the origin (0,0) of a coordinate plane, you would go 6 units to the right and 2 units up. If you flipped the numbers (2,6) you would the go 2 units to the right and 6 units up. These two points (6,2) and (2,6) are not the same, so the order does matter.
