Question

Which statement is true about the point (−1, −2)

?

A The y-coordinate is ​ −1 ​, the x-coordinate is ​ −2 ​, and the point lies in the third quadrant.

B The y-coordinate is ​ −1 ​, the x-coordinate is ​ −2 ​, and the point lies in the fourth quadrant.

C The x-coordinate is −1 , the y-coordinate is −2 , and the point lies in the fourth quadrant.

D The x-coordinate is ​ −1 ​, the y-coordinate is ​ −2 ​, and the point lies in the third quadrant.

Answer 1

D The x-coordinate is −1 , the y-coordinate is −2 , and the point lies in the third quadrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

[POSITIVE, NEGATIVE] → QUADRANT IIII

[NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE] → QUADRANT III

[NEGATIVE, POSITIVE] → QUADRANT II

[POSITIVE, POSITIVE] → QUADRANT I

Answer 2

D The x-coordinate is ​ −1 ​, the y-coordinate is ​ −2 ​, and the point lies in the third quadrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point on a plane can be written by the following symbol:
`(x, y)` where

x presents for the x-coordinate and y presents for the y-coordinate

In this question, we have the given point (−1, −2), so

• The x-coordinate is ​ −1 ​
• The y-coordinate is ​ −2

About the quadrant, as we know that, if

x and y are positive, the point will be in quadrant 1

x is negative and y is positive, the point will be in quadrant 2

x and y are negative, the point will be in quadrant 3

x is positive and y is negative, the point will be in quadrant 4

In this question, (−1, −2) are negative so we choose quadrant 3

The answer is:

D The x-coordinate is ​ −1 ​, the y-coordinate is ​ −2 ​, and the point lies in the third quadrant.
