Short Answer

In the following exercises, plot each point in a rectangular coordinate system and identify the quadrant in which the point is located.

(4, 2)(1, 2)(3, 5)(3, 5)(53,2)

The quadrant that each point is placed using a rectangular coordinate system below

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information

The given equation are (a)(-4,2) (b)(-1,-2) (c)(3,-5) (d)(-3,5) (e)(53,2)

step 2. Identify the quadrant

(a)Since x=-4,the point is to the left of the y-axis. Also, since y=2, the point is above the x-axis. The point is (-4,2) in Quadrant II.

(b)Since x=-1, the point is to the left of the y-axis. Also, since y=-2, the point is below the x-axis. The point (-1,-2)is in Quadrant III.

(c)Since x=3, the point is to the right of the y-axis. Since y=-5, the point is below the x-axis. The point (3,-5) is in Quadrant lV.

(d)Since x=-3,the point is to the left of the x-axis. Also, since y=5, the point is above the y-axis. The point is (-3,5) in Quadrant II.

(e)Since x=53, the point is to the right of the y-axis. Since y=2, the point is above the x-axis. It can be seen that the point (53,2) is in Quadrant I.

Step 3. Graph the equation

The quadrant that each point is placed using a rectangular coordinate system
