Question_4_incorrect_2

Question_4_incorrect_3

Explanation

A quadrant is set up in such a way that the positive numbers are to the right and top, while the negative numbers are to the left and bottom. The x-value (the first number in the ordered pair) is the distance left or right from the center. The y-value (the second number in the ordered pair) is the distance above or below the axis.

will be units to the right, and units up.

will be units to the left, and units up.

9

Which of the following points would be in Quadrant III on the coordinate plane?

None of the points listed would be in Quadrant III.

Explanation

Quadrant III comprises the points whose - and - coordinates are both negative. This makes the correct choice.

10
