The last one is not true. An "origin" pair is a misnomer.
The second one is only conditionally true. The y-axis is usually shown as the vertical axis, but there is no mathematical reason that it must be the "vertical" axis other than convention. The y axis could drawn horizontally and the x axis drawn vertically without any loss of generality.
