How to write 3 12 as ordered pairs

The horizontal axis is called the x-axis and the vertical axis is called the y-axis The center of the coordinate system (where the lines intersect) is called the origin. The axes intersect when both x and y are zero. The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0). An ordered pair contains the coordinates of one point in the coordinate system. A point is named by its ordered pair of the form of (x, y). The first number corresponds to the x-coordinate and the second to the y-coordinate. To graph a point, you draw a dot at the coordinates that corresponds to the ordered pair. It's always a good idea to start at the origin. The x-coordinate tells you how many steps you have to take to the right (positive) or left (negative) on the x-axis. And the y-coordinate tells you have many steps to move up (positive) or down (negative) on the y-axis.

i think the length is 12 and the width is 17
