A quadrant is set up in such a way that the positive numbers are to the right and top, while the negative numbers are to the left and bottom. The x-value (the first number in the ordered pair) is the distance left or right from the center. The y-value (the second number in the ordered pair) is the distance above or below the axis.

will be units to the right, and units up.

will be units to the left, and units up.

In order to get to the point , start at the origin and move right unit and up units.

This is point .

On the coordinate plane, a point with a negative -coordinate and a positive -coordinate lies in the upper left quadrant - Quadrant II.

On the coordinate plane, a point with a positive -coordinate and a positive -coordinate lies in the upper right quadrant - Quadrant I.

On the coordinate plane, a point with 0 as one of its coordinates lies on an axis.

In order to get to the point , start at the origin and move right units and down units.

This is point .

The x-coordinate is the first one listed, and the y-coordinate is the second coordinate in the parentheses. You have to go either left or right with the x-coordinate, and the y-coordinate is the one on the vertical axis.

The point shown is in the IV quadrant, which means that the x-coordinate is positive, and the y-coordinate is negative.

The only point that fulfills those standards is .

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.

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.
