Answer:

D

Explanation:

3pi/4 is greater than pi/2 but less than pi.

So it's in the second quadrant

X is negative and Y is positive

Answer:

D: x is negative, y is positive

Explanation:

3pi/4

3* 180/4 = 135 degrees

This is in the second quadrant

y is greater than 0 and x is less than zero

x<0, y>0
