Option 1 (every other index in an array):

function storeCoordinate(x, y, array) {
    array.push(x);
    array.push(y);
}

var coords = [];
storeCoordinate(3, 5, coords);
storeCoordinate(19, 1000, coords);
storeCoordinate(-300, 4578, coords);

coords[0] == 3   // x value (even indexes)
coords[1] == 5   // y value (odd indexes)

// to loop through coordinate values
for (var i = 0; i < coords.length; i+=2) {
    var x = coords[i];
    var y = coords[i+1];
}
