Question

6 what quadrant is the ordered paid (-3, 9) in? a quadrant 3 b quadrant 2 c quadrant 1 d quadrant 4

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant sign rules

In a coordinate plane, quadrants are defined by the signs of the x - and y - coordinates:

• Quadrant 1: \(x>0,y > 0\)
• Quadrant 2: \(x<0,y>0\)
• Quadrant 3: \(x < 0,y < 0\)
• Quadrant 4: \(x>0,y < 0\)

Step2: Analyze the ordered pair \((-3,9)\)

For the ordered pair \((-3,9)\), the x - coordinate is \(x=-3\) (which is less than 0) and the y - coordinate is \(y = 9\) (which is greater than 0).

Answer:

B. Quadrant 2
