The polygon is in Quadrant I. (1)

Of course! Here are the steps to determine the quadrant in which the polygon lies:

1. Identify the quadrant of each individual point.
- (9, -2) is in Quadrant IV because the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
- (12, -5) is in Quadrant IV for the same reason.
- (5, -7) is in Quadrant IV as well.

2. Determine the quadrant in which the entire polygon lies.
- Since all three points are in Quadrant IV, the polygon as a whole will also be in Quadrant IV.

Therefore, the polygon lies in Quadrant IV.
