Math Problem Statement

Which quadrant is the point (-2, 2) in?

Solution

To determine which quadrant the point (-2, 2) is in, we need to examine the sign of the x and y coordinates:

  • The x-coordinate is -2, which is negative.
  • The y-coordinate is 2, which is positive.

In the coordinate plane:

  • Quadrant I: (+, +)
  • Quadrant II: (-, +)
  • Quadrant III: (-, -)
  • Quadrant IV: (+, -)

Since the point has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate, it is located in Quadrant II.

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. What are the properties of each quadrant in the coordinate plane?
  2. How do you find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane?
  3. What are the steps to reflect a point across the x-axis and y-axis?
  4. How do you plot points on a Cartesian plane?
  5. What is the significance of the origin (0, 0) in coordinate geometry?

Tip: Always check the signs of both the x and y coordinates to determine a point's location in the correct quadrant.
