Question

Where is the point (3, -2) located on the coordinate plane?A. On the y-axisB. In quadrant IVC. In quadrant IID. In quadrant III

Answer 1

B. In quadrant IV

Step-by-step explanation:

The points on the y-axis has the form (0, y) where the first component is 0. Since in (3, -2) the first component is 3, we get that this is not located on the y-axis.

In quadrant II, we have the pairs (-x, y) where the first coordinate is negative and the second coordinate is positive

In quadrant III, the points are (-x, -y) where the both coordinates are negative

In quadrant IV, the points are (x. -y) where the first coordinate is positive and the second is negative. Since this is the case for (3, -2), we get that this point is located on quadrant IV.
