Let $a$ and $b$ be real numbers, where $a < b$, and let $A = (a,a^2)$ and $B = (b,b^2)$.  The line $\overline{AB}$ (meaning the unique line that contains the point $A$ and the point $B$) has $x$-intercept $(10,0)$ and $y$-intercept $(0,-2)$.  Find $a$ and $b$.  Express your answer as the ordered pair $(a,b)$.
