Chapter 9.1, Problem 1AYU

To determine

To plot the points whose coordinates are and tell what the quadrant does point lie in.

Explanation of Solution

To locate the point A whose coordinates are (3, −1), go units along the X axis on the right side of origin point O and then go down unit down the Y axis. Plot this point by placing a dot at this location in the xy-plane.

The graph after plotting the point (3, −1) is shown below.

  

The point A = (3, −1) lies in the fourth quadrant.
