Example of Coordinate Points in Quadrant IV

Here are three examples of coordinate points located in Quadrant IV:

1. $(4, -2)$
2. $(7, -5)$
3. $(2, -8)$

Characteristics of Quadrant IV Coordinates

In Quadrant IV:

• The $x$-coordinate is positive.
• The $y$-coordinate is negative.

Plot and Conclusion

Let me create a coordinate plane and plot these points. matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Define the points

points = [(4, -2), (7, -5), (2, -8)]

Set up the plot

plt.figure(figsize=(6, 6)) plt.axhline(0, color='black', linewidth=0.8) # X-axis plt.axvline(0, color='black', linewidth=0.8) # Y-axis plt.grid(color='gray', linestyle='--', linewidth=0.5)

Plot the points

for x, y in points: plt.scatter(x, y, color='red') plt.text(x + 0.2, y + 0.2, f'({x}, {y})', fontsize=10)

Set limits and labels

plt.xlim(-10, 10) plt.ylim(-10, 10) plt.title('Coordinate Plane with Points in Quadrant IV') plt.xlabel('X-axis') plt.ylabel('Y-axis')

Save the plot

file_path = "/mnt/data/Quadrant_IV_Points.png" plt.savefig(file_path) plt.show()

Conclusion

All coordinates in Quadrant IV have a positive $x$-coordinate and a negative $y$-coordinate.

Would you like further details or have questions? Here are some related questions to consider:

1. What are the characteristics of points in other quadrants?
2. Can a point be on the border of Quadrant IV? What would that mean?
3. How does the placement of a point change when $x$ or $y$ becomes zero?
4. What are some real-world applications of quadrant-based coordinate systems?
5. How can transformations (e.g., reflection) move a point out of Quadrant IV?

Tip: Always verify coordinates against the quadrant's rules to avoid errors in classification.
