Question

in which quadrant does point m lie?
quadrant iv
quadrant i
quadrant iii
quadrant ii

Explanation:

To determine the quadrant of a point \((x,y)\) in a coordinate plane:

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

For Point \(M\), from the graph, the \(x\)-coordinate is negative (left of the \(y\)-axis) and the \(y\)-coordinate is positive (above the \(x\)-axis). This matches the criteria for Quadrant II (\(x < 0,y>0\)).

Answer:

D. Quadrant II
