Question

in which quadrant is the number $6 - 8i$ located on the complex plane?\
\bigcirc i\
\bigcirc ii\
\bigcirc iii\
\bigcirc iv

Explanation:

Step1: Identify complex plane coordinates

A complex number $a+bi$ corresponds to the point $(a, b)$ on the complex plane. For $6-8i$, this is $(6, -8)$.

Step2: Match coordinates to quadrant

Quadrant IV has positive $x$-values and negative $y$-values.

Answer:

IV. Quadrant IV (positive real, negative imaginary)
