Question

plot the ordered pair $(-4,-1)$. state in which quadrant or on which axis the point lies. plot the ordered pair on the graph to the right. in which quadrant, or on which axis, does the point lie? on the $y$-axis i iii on the $x$-axis iv ii

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the quadrant rules

In a coordinate plane, Quadrant I: \(x>0,y>0\); Quadrant II: \(x < 0,y>0\); Quadrant III: \(x<0,y < 0\); Quadrant IV: \(x>0,y < 0\). Points on the \(x -\)axis have \(y = 0\) and points on the \(y-\)axis have \(x = 0\).

Step2: Analyze the given ordered pair \((-4,-1)\)

For the ordered pair \((-4,-1)\), \(x=-4<0\) and \(y = - 1<0\).
