Question

Which of the following is the correct expression about the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane?

• A. $(4,7)=(7,4)$
• B. $(4,7)\ne (7,4)$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(4,7)\ne (7,4)$

$(4,7)$ indicates that we have to move 4 units along the x-axis and 7 units along the y-axis.



$(7,4)$ indicates that we have to move 7 units along the x-axis and 4 units along the y-axis.


From the above graph, it is clear that the coordinates $(4,7)$ and $(7,4)$ both are different. Hence, $(4,7)$ is not equal to $(7,4).$
