What is an Ordered Pair?

The pair of elements in a specific order that has a definite relationship, enclosed within small brackets (parenthesis) and separated by a comma (,), is called an ordered pair. The ordered pair is written in the form (x, y), where x is called the antecedent and y is called the consequent.
