Which quadrant is point (5, –5) in?

Question 3 options:

Quadrant I


Quadrant II


Quadrant III


Quadrant IV

Point \((5, -5)\) is located in **Quadrant IV**.

In the coordinate plane:
- Quadrant I has both \( x \) and \( y \) positive.
- Quadrant II has \( x \) negative and \( y \) positive.
- Quadrant III has both \( x \) and \( y \) negative.
- Quadrant IV has \( x \) positive and \( y \) negative.

Since \((5, -5)\) has a positive \( x \)-coordinate and a negative \( y \)-coordinate, it falls in Quadrant IV.

Would you like a breakdown of the quadrants, or do you have any other questions?

1. What quadrant would \((-5, 5)\) fall in?
2. How would you determine the quadrant for any given point?
3. Can a point lie on the boundary of two quadrants?
4. What is the relationship between the signs of coordinates and their quadrants?
5. 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!

Determine which quadrant the point (5, -5) lies in on the coordinate plane. This problem covers key concepts in coordinate geometry, focusing on identifying quadrants based on the signs of x and y coordinates. Suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
