Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with words plotted in each quadrant. The x-axis and y-axis range from negative 7 to 7 in increments of 1. Quadrant 1 is labeled with left parenthesis positive sign comma positive sign right parenthesis. The label sharks is plotted in quadrant 1. Sharks is shown at 3 increments on the x-axis and 3 increments on the y-axis. Quadrant 2 is labeled with left parenthesis negative sign comma positive sign right parenthesis. The labels otters and turtles are plotted in quadrant 2. Otters is shown at 4 increments on the x-axis and 4 increments on the y-axis. Turtles is shown at 3 increments on the x-axis and 2 increments on the y-axis. Quadrant 3 is labeled with left parenthesis negative sign comma negative sign right parenthesis. Coral reef is plotted in quadrant 3. Coral reef is shown at 4 increments on the x-axis and 5 increments on the y-axis. Quadrant 4 is labeled with left parenthesis positive sign comma negative sign right parenthesis. The labels touch tank and penguins are plotted in quadrant 4. Touch tank is shown at 5 increments on the x-axis and 3 increments on the y-axis. Penguins is shown at 2 increments on the x-axis and 5 increments on the y-axis.

Answer 1

To determine what someone will find at the point (-3, 2) on the coordinate plane, we need to identify in which quadrant this point lies and check for any labels plotted there.

The point (-3, 2) has:

• An x-coordinate of -3 (negative), which indicates it is in either Quadrant 2 or Quadrant 3.
• A y-coordinate of 2 (positive), which confirms it is in Quadrant 2 (since Quadrant 2 has a negative x and positive y).

In Quadrant 2, the labels plotted are "otters" at (−4, 4) and "turtles" at (−3, 2).

Since the point (-3, 2) corresponds to the location of "turtles," the correct response is:

turtles
