Coordinates are given as ordered pairs, with the coordinate on the x-axis first and the coordinate on the y-axis second. If both numbers are positive, the coordinate is in the first quadrant. If the first is negative and the second is positive, the coordinate is in the second quadrant. If both numbers are negative, the coordinate is in the third quadrant. If the first number is positive and the second is negative, the coordinate is in the fourth quadrant. The ordered pair (2, 1) refers to a point that is 2 away from 0 on the x -axis and 1 away from 0 on they -axis. It is in the first quadrant. Which of these ordered pairs describes a coordinate in the third quadrant? A (3, 5) B (-3, 5) C (-3, -5) D (3, -5)
