Question

A page in Johanie’s workbook is torn, and one of the questions is cut off. She can read only the first part of the question: "In which quadrant would you find point P if the coordinates of P are (â€"5,. " Assuming that P is not on an axis, what are the possible answers to this question? quadrant I or quadrant II quadrant II or quadrant III quadrant II or quadrant IV quadrant III or quadrant IV.

Answer 1

A quadrant is simply a part of the coordinate plane

The possible position of point P is (b) quadrant II or quadrant III

The coordinates of point P is given as:

$\mathbf{P =(-5,\_)}$

Represent the missing y-coordinate with y.

So, the coordinate becomes

$\mathbf{P =(-5,y)}$

The above coordinate shows that the x-coordinate of point P is negative.

The x-coordinate is negative in the second and the third quadrants

i.e. quadrant II and quadrant III

Hence, the position of point P is (b) quadrant II or quadrant III

Answer 2

Quadrant 2 or 3

Remember, the first coordinate is -5.

And the first coordinate in an ordered pair is always on the x axis, or the horizontal line

On a coordinate plane, you would have to start from the origin, or the center of the plane where the y and x axis intersect, and move left 5 times.

That section of the x axis your dot is on is between quadrant 2 and 3.

If your other coordinate was a positive (say, 6), you would move up six times and land in the second quadrant

If your other coordinate was -6, you would move down six times and land in the third quadrant
