answer
selecting an option will display any further inputs needed to complete your answer.
○ quadrant i
○ quadrant ii
○ quadrant iii
○ quadrant iv
○ axis

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In a coordinate - plane, in Quadrant I: $x>0,y > 0$; in Quadrant II: $x<0,y>0$; in Quadrant III: $x < 0,y<0$; in Quadrant IV: $x>0,y<0$.

Step2: Analyze the given point

For the point $(8, - 2)$, the $x$ - coordinate $x = 8>0$ and the $y$ - coordinate $y=-2<0$.

Answer:

D. Quadrant IV
