You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Quadrant I holds the solutions.
Here is a graph with its quadrants labeled:
........................y..........................
.......................6|..........................
.........................|..........................
....Quadrant..4|.......Quadrant....
..........II............|..............I...........
.......................2|..........................
..........................|..........................
--------------------------------------x
-6.....-4.....-2....|.......2.......4.......6
.....................-2|...........................
.........................|..........................
...Quadrant..-4|.......Quadrant.....
.........III...........|............IV...........
.....................-6|...........................
If you look at it, the points in Quadrant I have x-values greater than or equal to 0, and y-values greater than or equal to 0.
The points in Quadrant II have x-values lesser than or equal to 0, and y-values greater than or equal to 0.
The points in Quadrant III have x-values lesser than or equal to 0, and y-values lesser than or equal to 0.
The points in Quadrant IV have x-values greater than or equal to 0, and y-values lesser than or equal to 0.
