Example Questions
Example Question #101 : Coordinate Geometry
Which quadrant or axis can include the point ?
The -axis
Quadrant III
Quadrant I
Quadrant IV
Quadrant II
Quadrant I
The ordered pair consists of a positive
-coordinate and a positive
-coordinate. The only quadrant that consists entirely of positive
- and
-coordinates is Quadrant I.
Example Question #1031 : Gmat Quantitative Reasoning
Which quadrant or axis contains the point ?
The -axis
Quadrant III
Quadrant II
The -axis
Quadrant I
The -axis
The ordered pair consists of a positive
-coordinate and a
-coordinate of
. The only part of the coordinate plane on which all points have a zero
-coordinate is the
-axis.
Example Question #102 : Graphing
Which of the following ordered pairs is in Quadrant III?
By definition, only Quadrant III contains ordered pairs that have both negative - and
-coordinates.
Example Question #103 : Graphing
Which quadrant or axis includes the point ?
The -axis
Quadrant IV
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
The ordered pair has a negative
-coordinate and a positive
-coordinate. By definition, all ordered pairs with negative
-coordinates and a positive
-coordinates exist in Quadrant II.
Example Question #108 : Graphing
Which quadrant or axis includes the point ?
Quadrant III
The -axis
The -axis
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
The -axis
The ordered pair has a zero
-coordinate and a nonzero
-coordinate. By definition, all ordered pairs with zero
-coordinates and nonzero
-coordinates is on the
-axis.
Example Question #4 : Graphing An Ordered Pair
Which of the following ordered pairs is in Quadrant I?
None of these coordinates
By definition, all ordered pairs with positive -coordinates and positive
-coordinates are in Quadrant I. Therefore, the only ordered pair in this quadrant is
.
Example Question #191 : Coordinate Geometry
The point lies on a line with slope
that passes through the point
.
What is ?
cannot be determined
We first need to find an equation of the line with a slope of that passes through the point (2, 5).
Now, plug in the point and solve for
.
Example Question #193 : Coordinate Geometry
A line goes through points . What is
?
The slope of the line through and
can be found using the slope formula:
Set :
We can use this slope and the slope formula; set :
Example Question #793 : Geometry
The point lies on a line with a slope
that passes through
. What is the value of
?
In order to find the value of , we first need to find the equation for the line with slope
that passes through the point
.
Plugging in and solving for
:
Example Question #1034 : Problem Solving Questions
The point lies on a line with a slope
that passes through
. What is the value of
