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 first note that this point is located in quadrant 3, as both of its coordinates are negative.

Looking at the descriptions of the points provided:

• Point A: \( (7, 10) \) — Quadrant 2
• Point B: \( (10, 7) \) — Quadrant 2
• Point C: \( (10, 7) \) — Quadrant 3
• Point D: \( (7, 10) \) — Quadrant 3
• Point E: \( (7, 10) \) — Quadrant 4
• Point F: \( (9, 7) \) — Quadrant 4

Since the coordinates of (−7, −10) do not match any of the given points, and more importantly, do not correspond to the coordinates indicated for points C and D which are also mentioned to be in quadrant 3, there appears to be a misunderstanding.

To conclude, the point (−7, −10) is not represented by any of the letters (A, B, C, D, E, F) listed in the responses, as all points provided have positive coordinates.
