Question

Alan graphed the relationship between temperature and elevation for several cities. The x coordinate is the elevation in meters, and the y coordinate is the temperature in degrees Celsius. In which quadrant would a point showing a city 6 meters above sea level and 9 degrees Celsius below zero be located?

a) Quadrant I
b) Quadrant II
c) Quadrant III
d) Quadrant IV

Answer 1

The point would be located in Quadrant IV. Hence the correct answer is option D

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the quadrant, we need to consider the x and y coordinates of the point. In this question, the city is 6 meters above sea level, which means its x coordinate is positive. Additionally, the temperature is 9 degrees Celsius below zero, making the y coordinate negative.

Since the x and y coordinates are both positive, the point would be located in Quadrant IV.

Hence the correct answer is option D
