2. does the order of an ordered pair matter? why or why not?

The order is important because it provides one specific location in the coordinate plane.

Yes, I would say it does. Because an ordered pair for example ( 7 , -2 ) the # that corresponds to the value of x s called the x-coordinate and the same thing goes for the y-value, y-coordinate.

I think that’s the correct answer in my understanding, hoped that helped

Hope i can you!
