that's what i found for you
Each point on the graph is depicted by an ordered pair, where x is always the first value and y is always the second value in the ordered pair (x,y). This is because x is the independent variable, which means that it is the variable being changed. This makes y the dependent variable, which means that it is dependent on how x is being changed. We will explore this as we start to graph equations in terms of x and y. Now, even though there are two values in an order pair, they associate to only one point on the graph.
