The ordered pair (x, -9) is located in Quadrant IV, which means that x is positive and -9 is negative.
Out of the given options, only 8 is a positive number.
Therefore, the value of x can be 8.
ARE U SURE
To determine which value of x will place the ordered pair (x, -9) in Quadrant IV, we need to understand the characteristics of Quadrant IV. Quadrant IV is the bottom-right quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate plane where both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive.
Since the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (x, -9) is -9, which is negative, the only way for this point to be located in Quadrant IV is if the x-coordinate is positive. Therefore, the only possible value for x is 8.
Hence, the correct answer is 8.
