Sure, I'd be happy to help with that. To determine the quadrant where an ordered pair is located, you simply look at the signs of the x and y coordinates.

Let's start with point A which is located at (8,3). Since both x and y are positive, the point is in Quadrant I. On a coordinate plane, Quadrant I is the upper right quadrant where both x and y values are positive.

Moving on to point B, at (9,-2). The x-coordinate is positive but the y-coordinate is negative. This is the definition of Quadrant IV. On a coordinate plane, Quadrant IV is the lower right quadrant where the x values are positive and the y values are negative.

Finally, let's look at point C, at (-3.5,-6). Both x and y are negative here, which means that the point is located in Quadrant III. On a coordinate plane, Quadrant III is the lower left quadrant where both x and y values are negative.

So, in summary, point A is in Quadrant I, point B is in Quadrant IV, and point C is in Quadrant III.
