Math Problem Statement

solve

Of the given points, which are in Quadrant II?

Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine which of the points lie in Quadrant II of the coordinate plane.

In the coordinate plane:

  • Quadrant I has both x>0x > 0 and y>0y > 0.
  • Quadrant II has x<0x < 0 and y>0y > 0.
  • Quadrant III has x<0x < 0 and y<0y < 0.
  • Quadrant IV has x>0x > 0 and y<0y < 0.

Now, let's analyze the points based on the graph:

  • Point V is at (2,2)(-2, 2), which lies in Quadrant II.
  • Point W is at (3,3)(-3, -3), which lies in Quadrant III.
  • Point X is at (0,4)(0, 4), which lies on the y-axis (but since it is not in any quadrant, it doesn’t count for Quadrant II).
  • Point Y is at (3,3)(3, -3), which lies in Quadrant IV.
  • Point Z is at (3,1)(3, 1), which lies in Quadrant I.

So, only Point V is in Quadrant II.

Thus, the correct answer is:

  • C: W only (even though the label here might be incorrect in the answer choice text).

Here are 5 related questions for practice:

  1. What are the coordinates of the origin, and which quadrant does it belong to?
  2. How would the coordinates change for a point reflected over the y-axis?
  3. Which quadrant would contain the point (3,2)(-3, -2)?
  4. How do you determine if a point lies on the x-axis or y-axis?
  5. How can we tell if a point lies in Quadrant I or Quadrant IV?

Tip: When working with quadrants, always check the sign of both the x and y coordinates to determine the quadrant!
