Question

the graph shows the four quadrants of the coordinate plane. where is $(-2.5, 2)$ located on the coordinate plane? choose 1 answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the coordinates

The point is \((-2.5, 2)\). In a coordinate \((x, y)\), the \(x\)-coordinate is \(-2.5\) (negative) and the \(y\)-coordinate is \(2\) (positive).

Step2: Recall quadrant rules

• Quadrant I: \(x>0, y>0\)
• Quadrant II: \(x<0, y>0\)
• Quadrant III: \(x<0, y<0\)
• Quadrant IV: \(x>0, y<0\)

Since \(x = - 2.5<0\) and \(y = 2>0\), the point lies in Quadrant II.

Answer:

Quadrant II
