Question

Select all statements that are true about the graph of ordered pair (−3, −7)(−3, −7) .

a)The point is 7 units below the x-axis.

b)The point is 3 units below the origin and 7 units left.

c)The point is on the x-axis.

d)The point is in the third quadrant.

e)The point is 3 units to the right of the y-axis.

Answer 1

We know that in order to find the point (-3,-7), we must first go to the left on the x-axis 3 units from the origin, and then directly down on the y-axis 7 units. Using the attached image, we can see that this would then put us into the third quadrant or Quadrant III. Therefore, the answer is D) The point is in the third quadrant.
