D
The sign in front of each number represents which direction to go on the x or y-axis starting at the origin . If the number is positive you go right on the x-axis or up on the y-axis. If the sign is negative then you move to the left on the x-axis or down on the y-axis. The first term in the ordered pair is the movement in the x direction and the second point is the movement in the y direction.

Example Question #51 : Graphing
What is the following ordered pair?
In order to find the values of a graphed ordered pair, you first need to the count across the x-axis (horizontal) and then across the y-axis (vertical). The middle of the x-axis and y-axis is called the origin and represents (0,0). Any movement to the left or below the origin is negative. Any movement to the right or above the origin is positive. Therefore, the coordinate for the graphed ordered pair would be two across the x-axis in the positive direction and three across the y-axis in the positive direction, or .
