Answer 1

To determine the quadrant of the reflected point across the x- and y-axes, we start with the original point \((-16, 11)\).

1. **Reflecting across the x-axis**:
- The x-coordinate stays the same, while the y-coordinate changes sign.
- This gives us the point \((-16, -11)\).

2. **Reflecting across the y-axis**:
- The y-coordinate stays the same, while the x-coordinate changes sign.
- This gives us the point \((16, -11)\).

Now, let's determine the quadrant of the final reflected point \((16, -11)\):

- The x-coordinate \(16\) is positive.
- The y-coordinate \(-11\) is negative.

This means the point \((16, -11)\) is located in **Quadrant IV**, where x is positive and y is negative.

So the answer is:

**Quadrant IV**.
