Analytic geometry associates to each point in the Euclidean plane an ordered pair. The red ellipse is associated with the set of all pairs (x,y) such that ⁠x/4⁠ + y = 1.

In mathematics, an ordered pair, denoted (a, b), is a pair of objects in which their order is significant. If a and b are different, then (a,b) is different from (b,a). In contrast, the unordered pair {a,b} always equals the unordered pair {b,a}.
