To determine the location of a point on a graph, the first number of the ordered pair is a x-coordinate which means the first number you would look for would be the horizontal line, or the x-axis. The second number is the y-coordinate which means that you would look on the vertical line, or the y-axis. You would go on the horizontal line first, then from there go up to the y-coordinate and place your point. (I'm sorry if it's long but you can try to shorten it.)
