Ordered pair

Definition

A pair of values written $(x,y)$ that gives the values of two variables in a stated order.

Used by AQA

Specification A22, P7 · Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3

Revise: Linear Inequalities and Number Lines
An ordered result such as $(2,5)$ , where the position of each value identifies the experiment that produced it.
Revise: Possibility Spaces

1
For an inequality in two variables, a solution is an ordered pair that makes the inequality true. Substitute both coordinates when checking it.
