Line p, not shown in the standard (x, y) coordinate plane
above, has a zero slope and a negative y-intercept. Line
p does NOT have points in which of the following
quadrants?
A.
Quadrant I only
B.
Quadrants I and II only
C.
Quadrants III and IV only
D.
Quadrants I and III only
E.
Quadrant III only
The line with a zero slope and a negative y-intercept is a horizontal line that lies entirely on the negative side of the y-axis. This means that the line does not have any points in Quadrants I and II, where the y-values are positive.
Therefore, the line does not have points in Quadrants I and II only.
The correct answer is option B.
