Question

The map shows the location of four places in a city:

Coordinate grid shown from negative 6 to positive 6 on the x-axis and negative 6 to positive 6 on the y-axis. A point labeled School is shown on ordered pair 2, 4. A point labeled Library is shown on ordered pair negative 3, 5. A point labeled City Park is shown on ordered pair negative 3, negative 4. A point labeled Museum is shown on ordered pair 2, negative 5.

Mike's house is in the same quadrant as the city park. Which of the following could be the coordinates of Mike's house?

(2, 5)
(−2, 5)
(2, −5)
(−2, −5)

Answer 1

(-2,-5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is (-2,-5).

Explanation:

• Ordered pairs in the first quadrant: x>0 and y>0.
• Ordered pairs in the second quadrant: x<0 and y>0.
• Ordered pairs in the third quadrant: x<0 and y<0.
• Ordered pairs in the fourth quadrant: x>0 and y<0.

If City Park is shown on (-3,-4), then in the third quadrant.

Mike's house is in the same quadrant that City Park, so (-2,-5) could be the coordinates.
