Question

If y is the second entry and x is the first entry, then its ordered pair will be….
A) (x,y)
B) (y,y)
C) (y,x)
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: : To solve this question, we are asked about the ordered pair and we have been given the first entry and second entry. So, y is the second entry and x is the first entry, then we will check from the given options, which satisfies the given question.

Complete step-by-step answer:
An ordered pair is a composition of the x coordinate (abscissa) and the y coordinate (ordinate), having two values written in a fixed order within parentheses. It helps to locate a point on the Cartesian plane for better visual comprehension. The numeric values in an ordered pair can be integers or fractions.
We have been given a second entry as y and first entry as x, and we need to find the ordered pair. So, we know that an ordered pair contains the coordinates of one point in the coordinate system.
So, second entry is y and first entry is x, we get
(x,y)
Here, x first entry
y second entry
Thus, option (A), (x,y) is correct.
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: In the question, we are asked about the ordered pair, so, the ordered pair contains the coordinates of one point in the coordinate system. And the point is named by its ordered pair of the form of (x, y), where the first number corresponds to the x-coordinate and the second number corresponds to the y-coordinate.
