Read each question carefully and provide your answer in the space provided. For graphing questions, plot the points accurately on the coordinate plane.
1. In which quadrant do both the x and y coordinates have positive values?
2. If a point has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate, which quadrant is it located in?
3. The point (-5, -2) lies in which quadrant?
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
4. A point (x, y) where x > 0 and y < 0 is located in which quadrant?
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
5. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below and label them:
A = (3, 4)
B = (-2, 5)
C = (-4, -3)
D = (5, -1)
6. For each point plotted in question 5, identify the quadrant it lies in:
Point A:
Point B:
Point C:
Point D:
7. The origin (0,0) is located in Quadrant I.
True
False
8. Points on the x-axis are not considered to be in any quadrant.
