| Algebra.Com's Answer #83784 by bucky(2189)      You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw a set of coordinate axes as shown below \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Note that there are four sections formed by these set axes. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The \"origin\" is the point where the axes cross each other. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Quadrant I (or 1) is the upper right section of the coordinate system. If the origin was the center \n" ); document.write( "of a clock face, Quadrant I would be the part of the clock face where the hours 12, 1, 2, \n" ); document.write( "and 3 are located. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Quadrant II (or 2) is the upper left section of this coordinate system. Again, if the coordinate \n" ); document.write( "system was the face of a clock, Quadrant II would be where the hours 9, 10, 11 and 12 are \n" ); document.write( "located. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Quadrant III (or 3) is the lower left section of the coordinate system. Quadrant III would be \n" ); document.write( "that part of the clock face where the hours 6, 7, 8, and 9 are. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Finally Quadrant IV (or 4) is the lower right section of the coordinate system. Quadrant IV \n" ); document.write( "is that part of a clock face where the hours 3, 4, 5, and 6 are. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to understand the system for numbering the quadrants. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " |
