For the following set of points, describe how the closest-pair algorithm finds a closest pair of points

(3, 2), (2, 1), (2, 3), (1, 2), (3, 1), (2, 2), (1, 3), (3, −1), (5, −2)

The closest-pair algorithm is a fundamental algorithm in the field of computational geometry and is used to find the pair of points with the smallest Euclidean distance among a given set of points. In the case of the provided set of points:

\[ (3, 2), (2, 1), (2, 3), (1, 2), (3, 1), (2, 2), (1, 3), (3, -1), (5, -2) \]

The closest-pair algorithm typically employs a divide-and-conquer strategy to efficiently compute the closest pair of points. The algorithm works as follows:

### 1. Sorting Points
The first step is to sort the given set of points based on their x-coordinates. This ensures that points with similar x-coordinates are close to each other ________ ______ _______ _______ _________ ________ _______ _______ ______ __________.
