Question
Use the image to answer the question.

A graph of x versus y ranges from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1 on both axes. Points A through F are plotted. Points A and B are in quadrant 2. Point A is shown at 7 increments on the x-axis and 10 increments on the y-axix. Point B is shown at 10 increments on the x-axis and 7 increments on the y-axis. Points C and D are plotted in quadrant 3. Point C is shown at 10 increments on the x-axis and 7 increments on the y-axis. Point D is shown at 7 increments on the x-axis and 10 increments on the y-axis. Points E and F are plotted in quadrant 4. Point E is shown at 7 increments on the x-axis and 10 increments on the y-axis. Point F is shown at 9 increments on the x-axis and 7 increments on the y-axis.

Answer 1

To determine which letter represents the point \( (-7, -10) \), we need to analyze the provided coordinates of each point mentioned:

- **Point A** is at \( (7, 10) \) in quadrant 2.
- **Point B** is at \( (10, 7) \) in quadrant 2.
- **Point C** is at \( (10, -7) \) in quadrant 3.
- **Point D** is at \( (7, -10) \) in quadrant 3.
- **Point E** is at \( (7, -10) \) in quadrant 4.
- **Point F** is at \( (9, -7) \) in quadrant 4.

Now looking for the point \( (-7, -10) \):
- The x-coordinate \(-7\) indicates it lies in quadrant 3 or 4 since both quadrants have negative y-values.
- However, none of the points listed strictly shows \(-7\) for the x-coordinate.

We can see that Point D will refer to coordinates \( (7, -10) \), which is not the same.
Point E does have negative y-value but has a positive x-value.

Given that none of these points correspond to the exact coordinates of \( (-7, -10) \), I assume there may be a misunderstanding in the question provided.

However, based on the naming and provided coordinates, it seems possible that none of the letters A-F corresponds to \( (-7, -10)\). If you still want to choose based on the closest quadrant, the most reasonable point would be **D**.

If you meant to evaluate based on visual proximity or any other graphical point referenced in your original image, do let me know!
