Math Problem Statement

Which quadrant is point (5, –5) in?

Question 3 options:

Quadrant I

Quadrant II

Quadrant III

Quadrant IV

Solution

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

In the coordinate plane:

  • Quadrant I has both xx and yy positive.
  • Quadrant II has xx negative and yy positive.
  • Quadrant III has both xx and yy negative.
  • Quadrant IV has xx positive and yy negative.

Since (5,5)(5, -5) has a positive xx-coordinate and a negative yy-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)(-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!
