Question

Identify the quadrant in which each point is located:

A (5,175)
B (-5,-8) quadrant III
C (23)
D (2,-3.5)
E (4.5,3.75)

Answer 1

The points are located in different quadrants: A (5,175) in quadrant II, B (-5,-8) in quadrant III, C (23) does not have a y coordinate, D (2,-3.5) in quadrant IV, and E (4.5,3.75) in quadrant I.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrant in which each point is located can be determined by the signs of the x and y coordinates.

• Point A (5,175) is located in quadrant II because the x coordinate is positive and the y coordinate is positive.
• Point B (-5,-8) is located in quadrant III because the x coordinate is negative and the y coordinate is negative.
• Point C (23) does not have a y coordinate and is therefore not located in any quadrant.
• Point D (2,-3.5) is located in quadrant IV because the x coordinate is positive and the y coordinate is negative.
• Point E (4.5,3.75) is located in quadrant I because both the x and y coordinates are positive.
