Example Question #1 : How To Graph An Ordered Pair
In the standard xy coordinate plane, what quadrant(s) could point A lie in, if its x-coordinate and y-coordinate have opposite signs?
Quadrants IV
Quadrant III
Quadrants I and III
Quadrants II and IV
Quadrant II
Quadrants II and IV
We know that right of the origin represents the positive x-direction, and above the origin represents the positive y-direction. For Quadrant I, both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate must be positive, i.e. (+,+). For quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative, while the y-coordinate is positive, i.e. (+, -). For Quadrant III, both coordinates must be negative, i.e. (-, -). For Quadrant IV, the x-coordinate is positive, and the y-coordinate is negative, i.e. (+, -).
Example Question #2 : How To Graph An Ordered Pair
Which pair of coordinates lies within quadrant II?
By definition, quadrant I has positive coordinates, quadrant II has coordinates, quadrant III has negative coordinates, and quadrant IV has coordinates, as shown by the diagram below. Only one answer choice falls within quadrant II. All others lie in other coordinates or one of the axes.
- Quadrant II
- Quadrant I
- x-axis
- y-axis
- Quadrant III
