The coordinates (−15, 2) , (−15, 8) , (−20, 2) , and (−20, 8) were plotted to draw a polygon on a coordinate plane. Is the polygon in Quadrant I, II, III or IV? Answer 1 for Quadrant I, 2 for Quadrant II, 3 for Quadrant III, or 4 for Quadrant IV.
The polygon is in Quadrant III.
To determine the quadrant of a polygon, we look at where the majority of the points are located. In this case, all four points have negative x-coordinates and two of the points have positive y-coordinates. This places the polygon in Quadrant III.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's reevaluate the coordinates and determine the correct quadrant.
The given coordinates are:
1. (-15, 2)
2. (-15, 8)
3. (-20, 2)
4. (-20, 8)
Looking at the x-coordinates, all the points have negative x-values, suggesting the polygon is to the left of the y-axis.
Considering the y-coordinates, two points have y-values greater than 0, indicating the polygon spans the second and third quadrants.
Hence, the polygon is in Quadrant II.
