click on the graph to plot a point. click a point to delete it.
answer
1st quadrant
2nd quadrant
3rd quadrant
4th quadrant

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In a coordinate plane, for a point \((x,y)\):

• 1st quadrant: \(x>0,y > 0\)
• 2nd quadrant: \(x<0,y>0\)
• 3rd quadrant: \(x < 0,y<0\)
• 4th quadrant: \(x>0,y<0\)

Step2: Analyze the given point \((8,-2)\)

Here \(x = 8>0\) and \(y=-2<0\)

Answer:

4th Quadrant
