Question

in which quadrant does the point (-24, 15) lie?
a. quadrant ii
b. quadrant i
c. quadrant iv
d. quadrant iii

Explanation:

Step1: Recall quadrant rules

In a coordinate system:

• Quadrant I: \(x>0,y>0\)
• Quadrant II: \(x < 0,y>0\)
• Quadrant III: \(x < 0,y < 0\)
• Quadrant IV: \(x>0,y < 0\)

Step2: Analyze the given point

For the point \((-24,15)\), \(x=-24<0\) and \(y = 15>0\)

Answer:

A. Quadrant II
