Consider that point A is located at (x, y) in Quadrant I of the coordinate plane. In which quadrant is point B with coordinates (-x, y) located?
A) Quadrant I
B) Quadrant II
C) Quadrant III
D) Quadrant IV
(HAVING TROUBLENEED HELP FAST )
Wrong
quadrant II
THANKS !!!!
To determine in which quadrant point B is located, we need to understand how the signs of the x and y coordinates relate to each quadrant on the coordinate plane.
In Quadrant I, both x and y are positive.
In Quadrant II, x is negative, and y is positive.
In Quadrant III, both x and y are negative.
In Quadrant IV, x is positive, and y is negative.
Given that point A is located at (x, y) in Quadrant I, we know that both x and y are positive.
Now, let's consider point B with coordinates (-x, y). The x-coordinate of point B is -x, which means it is negative, and the y-coordinate remains the same as y.
Looking at the signs of the coordinates, point B has a negative x-coordinate (-x) and a positive y-coordinate (y).
Since point B has a negative x-coordinate and y-coordinate, it is located in Quadrant II.
Therefore, the answer is B) Quadrant II.
