Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The x-axis (horizontal axis) and y axis (vertical axis) divide the coordinate plane into four section known as quadrant.

In the first quadrant, the x and y coordinate are positive, in the second quadrant, the x coordinate is negative and y coordinate is positive. In the third quadrant, the x and y coordinate are negative while in the fourth quadrant, the x coordinate is positive and y coordinate is negative.

Point M is in Quadrant II, hence M = (-x, y).

Point J has the same x-coordinate and the opposite y-coordinate as Point M, hence J = (-x, -y).

Point K has the opposite x-coordinate and the opposite y-coordinate as Point M, hence K = (x, y).

A) Since J = (-x, -y), point J is in the third quadrant.

B) Since K = (x, y), point K is in the first quadrant
