Question

Which of the following points is not in any of the four quadrants?

A) (-2, 4)
B) (8, 0)
C) (-8, -1)
D) (8, -1)

Answer 1

The point B) (8, 0) is on the x-axis and therefore it does not belong to any of the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question asks you to identify which of the following points is not in any of the four quadrants on a Cartesian coordinate system. The Cartesian coordinate system is divided into four quadrants by the x-axis and the y-axis. Points in the quadrants have the following signs: Quadrant I (+,+), Quadrant II (-,+), Quadrant III (-,-), and Quadrant IV (+,-). Points lying exactly on the axes do not belong to any quadrant.

• A) (-2, 4) is in Quadrant II.
• B) (8, 0) lies on the x-axis and is not in any quadrant.
• C) (-8, -1) is in Quadrant III.
• D) (8, -1) is in Quadrant IV.

Therefore, the point that is not in any of the four quadrants is B) (8, 0).
