Question

Point E\text{'s}E’sE, start text, apostrophe, s, end text xxx- and yyy-coordinates have different signs (one is positive and the other is negative). Neither coordinate is 000.

Where could point EEE be located on the coordinate plane?

Answer 1

Answer:

• (x,-y)-Lower Right
• (-x,y)-Upper Left

Step-by-step explanation:

If point E's x and y coordinates have different sign, there are two possibilities.

1. x is positive and y is negative, (x,-y)

2. x is negative and y is positive, (x,-y)

1. x is positive and y is negative, (x,-y)

When this occurs, point E will be in the lower right of the origin line as seen in Figure 1 attached.

2. x is negative and y is positive, (-x,y)

When this occurs, point E will be in the upper left of the origin line as seen in Figure 2 attached.
