Question

Determine the quadrant(s) in which (x, y) could be located. (Select all that apply.)
x > 0 and y < 0
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
none of these

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Quadrant IV

Step-by-step explanation:

Directed numbers are numbers with either a positive sign or a negative sign. These numbers can be located easily on the number line. Examples are: 2, 5, -1, -3, -7, 9 etc.

Given that: x > 0 and y < 0

For example, let us consider specific directed number for x and y. Let x = 5 and y = -2, so that; (5, -2). This point can be located in the fourth quadrant of a Cartesian plane.

Therefore considering a Cartesian plane, the quadrant in which (x, y) could be located is: Quadrant IV.
