If point (7,b ) is in Quadrant I and point ( a, -3) is in Quadrant III, in which Quadrant is the point (a,b)?
Correct answer: B. Quadrant II
- A. Quadrant I
- B. Quadrant II
- C. Quadrant III
- D. Quadrant IV
Explanation
To determine the quadrant in which the point (a, b) lies, analyze the given conditions. The point (7, b) in Quadrant I means x is positive, y (b) is positive. The point (a, -3) in Quadrant III means x (a) is negative, y is negative. For (a, b), x (a) is negative and y (b) is positive, placing it in Quadrant II. Other options are incorrect as they do not align with the sign conditions derived from the given points.
