Hello. I have a math question that I truly need some help on please.

Question

Why do many of the graphs of real-world proportional relationships (such as distance to time) show the first quadrant but omit the other three quadrants?

I have to do a fill in the blank for this.

Real world information is often represented by (negative or positive) numbers. In a graph representing real world data, when (y is, both x and y are or x is) (negative, positive) then the only first quadrant is needed to show the relationship.
I am lost on this
