Example Question #851 : Act Math
In which Quadrant is the point located?
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant I
Quadrant IV
Quadrant III
To find out which quadrant a point lives in, we need to remember the qualities of each quadrant. By qualities, I mean the signs associated with the x and y values which are dependent on the quadrant the point resides in.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant I will have a positive x value and a positive y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant II will have a negative x value and a positive y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant III will have a negative x value and a negative y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant IV will have a positive x value and a negative y value.
For the point we see that both the x and y values are negative therefore, the point lies in the third quadrant. We can also check this by starting from the origin and going left 3 units and down 3 units. This will end up in the lower-left section of the coordinate-plane, which is Quadrant III.
Example Question #3 : How To Graph A Point
What are the coordinates of point B?
Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is .
Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is .
is then the coordinate of the point.
