(4 points)


A

B

C

D

Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

Look at the plane, - sign means negative. When you go left or down it is always negative and when you go right or up it is always positive. The left to right line is the x-axis and the up and down line is the y-axis. Since we want the x-coordinate to be negative we need to go left, so it will be either B or C, and since we want y-coordinate to be positive we should go up, so the answer is B.
