To determine which graph contains the point (−5, 8), we need to identify the coordinates:
- The x-coordinate is -5.
- The y-coordinate is 8.
We can break down the quadrants on a standard Cartesian plane:
- Quadrant I: x > 0, y > 0
- Quadrant II: x < 0, y > 0
- Quadrant III: x < 0, y < 0
- Quadrant IV: x > 0, y < 0
Since the x-coordinate is -5 (which is less than 0) and the y-coordinate is 8 (which is greater than 0), the point (−5, 8) is located in Quadrant II.
Now, let’s analyze the options based on the description provided:
- First Graph: Described as having a point in Quadrant II at (5, 8) - (incorrect, since it is not at -5, 8)
- Second Graph: Described as having a point in Quadrant IV at (5, 8) - (incorrect, since it is not in Quadrant IV)
- Third Graph: Described as having a point in Quadrant III at (5, 8) - (incorrect, since it is not in Quadrant III)
None of the descriptions provided align with containing the point (−5, 8).
None of the graphs listed correctly show the point (−5, 8) since they do not capture the correct quadrant or coordinates. If they had included a point in Quadrant II at (−5, 8), that would be the correct choice.
