Question 34320: Help me!!!!
Determine the quadrant(s) in which the pointis located or the axis on which the point is located without plotting it:
(-5,3)
(4,-6)
(4,0)
(-3y), y>0
(-6,y), y is a real number

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Starting in the upper right that is quadrant 1 going counterclockwise you get two, three and four.
Quadrant I will be (+,+), Quadrant II will be (-,+), Quadrant three will be
(-,-) and Quadrant IV will be (+,-).
The answer to your first point (-5,3) will be quadrant two since the ordered pair follows the format (-,+). This procedure will help you solve the next two also.
The fourth one is a little different. The answer to this is either quadrant III or IV because (-3y) y>0 is going to equal a negative y number and a real number is any number so the answer to the last one is all quadrants.
