In which quadrant does the point (24, 9) lie?
A. Quadrant IV
B. Quadrant II
C. Quadrant III
D. Quadrant I
Quad. I.
Thank you Henry!
Please help me
D is correct , I Quadrant
To determine the quadrant in which a point lies, we need to look at the signs of its coordinates. In this case, the point (24, 9) has positive x and positive y coordinates.
To understand the quadrants, imagine a Cartesian coordinate plane with the origin (0, 0) at the center. The x-axis extends to the right, and the y-axis extends upwards.
Quadrant I is formed by the positive x-axis and the positive y-axis. Quadrant II is formed by the negative x-axis and the positive y-axis. Quadrant III is formed by the negative x-axis and the negative y-axis. Quadrant IV is formed by the positive x-axis and the negative y-axis.
Since the point (24, 9) has positive x and positive y coordinates, it lies in Quadrant I.
Therefore, the answer is D. Quadrant I.
