An ordered pair is a composition of the x coordinate (abscissa) and the y-coordinate (ordinate).
To find the ordered pair you need to be able to identify the y and x axis.
y axis is vertical
x axis is horizontal
You want to start on the x axis and find where you think the dot is stopping at...which is -8 in the problem... once you do that move on up to the dot and move your finger to the left to see where that dot is leading you to, which is 3.
And there you have it. I hope this helps. I tried my best to explain.
