Answer 1

In the provided description of the coordinate plane, the yellow section is defined as the area to the left of the y-axis and below the x-axis (which corresponds to the third quadrant). Therefore, we are looking for points where the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is negative.

Let's analyze the given answer choices:

1. **(-2, -5)**: x is negative, y is negative. This point is located in the yellow section.
2. **(-2, -2)**: x is negative, y is negative. This point is located in the yellow section.
3. **(-4, 3)**: x is negative, y is positive. This point is located in the red section (not yellow).
4. **(2, -2)**: x is positive, y is negative. This point is located in the orange section (not yellow).
5. **(-3, -7)**: x is negative, y is negative. This point is located in the yellow section.

Thus, the points that will be located in the yellow section are:
- (-2, -5)
- (-2, -2)
- (-3, -7)
