Question

1. place these ordered pairs on the graph:

a(-1,-2.5)
b(5.5,-3)
c(0.5,3.5)
d(-3.5,2.5)
e(-4.5,-3)
f(6,-4.25)

1. which points are in quadrant 3?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In a coordinate plane, quadrant 3 has \(x < 0\) and \(y < 0\).

Step2: Check each point

• For \(A(-1,-2.5)\): \(x=-1<0\), \(y = - 2.5<0\).
• For \(B(5.5,-3)\): \(x = 5.5>0\), \(y=-3<0\) (quadrant 4).
• For \(C(0.5,3.5)\): \(x = 0.5>0\), \(y = 3.5>0\) (quadrant 1).
• For \(D(-3.5,2.5)\): \(x=-3.5<0\), \(y = 2.5>0\) (quadrant 2).
• For \(E(-4.5,-3)\): \(x=-4.5<0\), \(y=-3<0\).
• For \(F(6,-4.25)\): \(x = 6>0\), \(y=-4.25<0\) (quadrant 4).

Answer:

\(A(-1,-2.5)\) and \(E(-4.5,-3)\)
