Question

point a is located at (-2, -6). complete the statement. point a has an x-coordinate that is positive/negative/zero and a y-coordinate that is positive/negative/zero, so the point is located in quadrant/on axis

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze x - coordinate of Point A

Point A has coordinates \((-2, -6)\). The x - coordinate is \(-2\). Since \(-2<0\), the x - coordinate is negative.

Step2: Analyze y - coordinate of Point A

The y - coordinate of Point A is \(-6\). Since \(-6 < 0\), the y - coordinate is negative.

Step3: Determine the quadrant

In the coordinate plane, if both the x - coordinate and y - coordinate of a point are negative, the point lies in the third quadrant.

Answer:

Point A has an x - coordinate that is negative and a y - coordinate that is negative, so the point is located in quadrant III (or in the third quadrant). The first dropdown (for x - coordinate) should be "negative", the second dropdown (for y - coordinate) should be "negative", and the third dropdown (for quadrant) should be "in quadrant III" (or equivalent description of the third quadrant).
