Question

A small town is represented on a graph in the coordinate plane. The coordinates of the post office are (2,3) Which other building is in the same quadrant?
(-3,1)

(-2,4)

(1,5)

(-2,-3)

Answer 1

Based on sign of x and y coordinates, the four quadrants can be described as follows:

Quadrant I : x positive and y positive

Quadrant II : x negative and y positive

Quadrant III : x negative and y negative

Quadrant IV : x positive and y negative

The coordinates of the post office are (2,3)

Here both x and y are positive.

We are given four options,

(-3,1)

(-2,4)

(1,5)

(-2,-3)

Out of these option third (1,5) have both x and y positive and so it is in same quadrant as that of post office.

Answer : option third (1,5)

Answer 2

1,5 would be in the same quadrant because of the double positive
