I'm not sure whether I have well understood your question, but try using
complex numbers, i.e. when storing a coordinate pair, you write:
  x+i*y -> z
end when recalling the individual coordinates you write
  real(z) -> x
  imag(z) -> y

By i, I mean the imaginary unity, the yellow "i" above the I key on the
TI-92. Oh, you don't have a TI-92?
