Question

name the quadrant or axis where each point lies. point a the x - coordinate is negative and the y - coordinate is zero. location: (choose one) point b the x - coordinate is negative and the y - coordinate is negative. location: (choose one)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate - axis rules

In a Cartesian coordinate system, if \(y = 0\) and \(x<0\), the point lies on the negative \(x\) - axis.

Step2: Recall quadrant rules

In a Cartesian coordinate system, if \(x<0\) and \(y < 0\), the point lies in the third quadrant.

Answer:

Point A: Negative x - axis
Point B: Third quadrant
