Math Problem Statement
Which quadrant is point (5, –5) in?
Question 3 options:
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
Solution
Point is located in Quadrant IV.
In the coordinate plane:
- Quadrant I has both and positive.
- Quadrant II has negative and positive.
- Quadrant III has both and negative.
- Quadrant IV has positive and negative.
Since has a positive -coordinate and a negative -coordinate, it falls in Quadrant IV.
Would you like a breakdown of the quadrants, or do you have any other questions?
- What quadrant would fall in?
- How would you determine the quadrant for any given point?
- Can a point lie on the boundary of two quadrants?
- What is the relationship between the signs of coordinates and their quadrants?
- How does the distance from the origin affect which quadrant a point is in?
Tip: Remember, the signs of the coordinates determine the quadrant, not the magnitude!
