Which quadrant or axis can include the point 
?
Which quadrant or axis can include the point
The ordered pair 
consists of a positive 
-coordinate and a positive 
-coordinate. The only quadrant that consists entirely of positive 
- and 
-coordinates is Quadrant I.
The ordered pair
Compare your answer with the correct one above
Which quadrants can include the point 
if nonzero numbers 
and 
have the same sign?
Which quadrants can include the point
If 
and 
have the same sign, then 
, and the point has a positive 
-coordinate. The sign of 
is the same as the common sign of 
and 
. Therefore, only the 
-coordinate restricts the possibilities.
The points witn positive 
-coordinates are in Quadrant I and Quadrant IV.

Which quadrant or axis contains the point 
?
Which quadrant or axis contains the point
The ordered pair 
consists of a positive 
-coordinate and a 
-coordinate of 
. The only part of the coordinate plane on which all points have a zero 
-coordinate is the 
-axis.

Which of the following ordered pairs is in Quadrant III?
Which of the following ordered pairs is in Quadrant III?
By definition, only Quadrant III contains ordered pairs that have both negative 
- and 
-coordinates.

Which quadrant or axis includes the point 
?
Which quadrant or axis includes the point
The ordered pair 
has a negative 
-coordinate and a positive 
-coordinate. By definition, all ordered pairs with negative 
-coordinates and a positive 
-coordinates exist in Quadrant II.

?
Which quadrant or axis includes the point
The ordered pair 
has a zero 
-coordinate and a nonzero 
-coordinate. By definition, all ordered pairs with zero 
-coordinates and nonzero 
-coordinates is on the 
-axis.

Which of the following ordered pairs is in Quadrant I?
Which of the following ordered pairs is in Quadrant I?
By definition, all ordered pairs with positive 
-coordinates and positive 
-coordinates are in Quadrant I. Therefore, the only ordered pair in this quadrant is
