Question

if x < 0 and y > 0, where is the point (x, y) located?
quadrant i
quadrant ii
quadrant iii
quadrant iv

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In the coordinate - plane, in Quadrant I, \(x>0\) and \(y > 0\); in Quadrant II, \(x<0\) and \(y>0\); in Quadrant III, \(x < 0\) and \(y<0\); in Quadrant IV, \(x>0\) and \(y<0\).

Step2: Match given conditions

Given \(x < 0\) and \(y>0\), this matches the conditions for Quadrant II.

Answer:

B. Quadrant II
