In the alphabet, x comes before y. Use this fact to describe a method for remembering how to write ordered pairs.

Answer:

Explanation:

so when remembering how to write ordered pairs, think of the monkey bars. you have to get there before you can climb up, x being walking to the monkey bars and y being climbing up them. Think of the steps to get to the monkey bars compared to the fact that x is before y. getting to the monkey bars comes before climbing them, is x (run) and climbing them would be y (rise), and not the other way around because like the question said; x comes before y.

I really hope this wasn't too confusing. I'm really sorry if it was!

Hope this helps! :)
