Question

tell in which quadrant or on what coordinate axis each point lies. a = (-7,1) b = (5, -1) c = (6,9) d = (-2,0) e = (0,8) in which quadrant or on what axis does point a lie? a. none, because the point is on the y - axis b. quadrant iii c. quadrant i d. quadrant ii e. none, because the point is on the x - axis f. quadrant iv

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In a coordinate - plane, in Quadrant I, both x and y are positive; in Quadrant II, x is negative and y is positive; in Quadrant III, both x and y are negative; in Quadrant IV, x is positive and y is negative. Points on the x - axis have y = 0 and points on the y - axis have x = 0.

Step2: Analyze point A

For point A=(-7,1), the x - coordinate is x=-7 (negative) and the y - coordinate is y = 1 (positive).

Answer:

D. Quadrant II
