A graph of x versus y ranges from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1 on both axes. A point is shown at 5 increments on the x-axis and 8 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 2.

Answer 1

To determine which graph contains the point (−5, 8), we need to analyze the coordinates:

• The x-coordinate is -5, which means the point is located 5 units to the left on the x-axis.
• The y-coordinate is 8, meaning the point is located 8 units up on the y-axis.

Given this information, the point (−5, 8) lies in quadrant 2, where x is negative and y is positive.

Now, let's go through the options:

1. The first graph shows a point at (5, 8) in quadrant 2. This does not have the correct x-coordinate.

2. The second graph shows a point (5, 8) in quadrant 3. Again, this does not have the correct x-coordinate.

3. The third graph depicts a point in quadrant 4, which also does not match the coordinates.

4. The last graph also shows a point in quadrant 4.

None of the options presented are correct for the point (−5, 8). If there's a point in quadrant 2 at (-5, 8), it should show five units to the left on the x-axis and eight units up on the y-axis.

It appears that none of the graphs provided show the correct point. Please verify the images once more or provide additional information if needed.

Answer 2

are you sure? I gave the right ones?

Answer 3

Let's go through the options again with a focus on the specific conditions for the point (−5, 8):

1. First graph: Indicates a point at (5, 8) in quadrant 2. (This is incorrect; the x-coordinate is positive.)

2. Second graph: Indicates a point at (5, 8) in quadrant 3. (This is also incorrect; again the x-coordinate is positive.)

3. Third graph: Indicates a point in quadrant 4, but the description did not provide coordinates. Quadrant 4 has negative y-values; again, this would be incorrect for our point (−5, 8).

4. Fourth graph: Indicates a point in quadrant 4 at (8, 5). This is also not correct, as it does not match the coordinates we are looking for.

In summary, for the point (-5, 8):

• The x-coordinate is negative, and the y-coordinate is positive. Therefore, the point lies in quadrant 2.

None of the provided graphs accurately depict the point (−5, 8), so I maintain my previous assessment. If you have specific images or more context, please share them and I can reassess.

Answer 4

The 1st one is right as it is (-5, 8) so, your wrong

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion in my previous messages and appreciate your patience. Given your clarification, let's reevaluate:

For the point (−5, 8):

• The x-coordinate is −5 (which is negative).
• The y-coordinate is 8 (which is positive).

Since the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive, this point indeed lies in quadrant 2.

If the first graph shows the point at (−5, 8) in quadrant 2, then you are correct, and that is the right answer.

Thank you for pointing out the mistake! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
