Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows the x-axis and y-axis labeled, both ranging from negative 6 to 6 in increments of 1. Quadrants 1 to 4 are labeled. Quadrant 1 is labeled with left parenthesis positive sign comma positive sign right parenthesis. Quadrant 2 is labeled with left parenthesis negative sign comma positive sign right parenthesis. Quadrant 3 is labeled with left parenthesis negative sign comma negative sign right parenthesis. Quadrant 4 is labeled with left parenthesis positive sign comma negative sign right parenthesis.

To determine the possible value of \( x \) for the ordered pair \( (x, -9) \) to be located in Quadrant IV, we need to understand the characteristics of each quadrant.

In Quadrant IV, the x-values are positive and the y-values are negative. The ordered pair \( (x, -9) \) has a y-value of -9, which is indeed negative, meaning the pair can be in Quadrant IV if the x-value is positive.

From the given options:
- 8 (positive)
- -7 (negative)
- 0 (not positive)
- -1 (negative)

The only positive value from these options is 8.

Thus, the correct answer is:
**8**
