Question

1. what quadrant is the point (-5, -6) located in?

a. quadrant iv
b. quadrant ii
c. quadrant iii
d. quadrant i

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 \((- 5,-6)\), \(x=-5<0\) and \(y = - 6<0\).

Answer:

c. Quadrant III
