Question

1. consider the coordinate plane, which point, when graphed correctly, is located in quadrant 4?

a. (2,5)
b. (8, -2)
c. (-4,7)
d. (-2,-3)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Quadrant 4 coordinate rule

Points in Quadrant 4 have positive $x$-coordinate and negative $y$-coordinate, i.e., $(+x, -y)$.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: $(2,5)$: $(+x, +y)$ → Quadrant 1
• Option B: $(8,-2)$: $(+x, -y)$ → Quadrant 4
• Option C: $(-4,7)$: $(-x, +y)$ → Quadrant 2
• Option D: $(-2,-3)$: $(-x, -y)$ → Quadrant 3

Answer:

B. (8, -2)
