Question

plot the ordered pair $\left(\frac{1}{2},-2\
ight)$. state in which quadrant or on which axis the point lies. plot the ordered pair on the graph to the right.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the coordinates

The ordered pair is \((\frac{1}{2}, - 2)\). The \(x\) - coordinate \(\frac{1}{2}>0\) and the \(y\) - coordinate \(-2 < 0\).

Step2: Determine the quadrant

In the Cartesian coordinate system, if \(x>0\) and \(y < 0\), the point lies in the fourth quadrant.

Answer:

The point \((\frac{1}{2},-2)\) lies in the fourth quadrant.
