Question

the graph shows the four quadrants of the coordinate plane.
point a is located at (-2, -6).
complete the statement.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Quadrant Rules

In a coordinate plane, Quadrant I has \( (+, +) \), Quadrant II has \( (-, +) \), Quadrant III has \( (-, -) \), and Quadrant IV has \( (+, -) \).

Step2: Analyze Point A's Coordinates

Point A is at \( (-2, -6) \). The x - coordinate (\( -2 \)) is negative, and the y - coordinate (\( -6 \)) is negative.

Step3: Match to Quadrant

Since both coordinates are negative, the point lies in Quadrant III (which has \( (-, -) \) coordinates).

Answer:

Quadrant III
