Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows the x-axis and y-axis labeled, both ranging from negative 6 to 6 in increments of 1. Quadrants 1 to 4 are labeled. Quadrant 1 is labeled with left parenthesis positive sign comma positive sign right parenthesis. Quadrant 2 is labeled with left parenthesis negative sign comma positive sign right parenthesis. Quadrant 3 is labeled with left parenthesis negative sign comma negative sign right parenthesis. Quadrant 4 is labeled with left parenthesis positive sign comma negative sign right parenthesis.

To determine the quadrant of the ordered pair \((6, -7)\):

  • The \(x\)-coordinate is \(6\), which is positive.
  • The \(y\)-coordinate is \(-7\), which is negative.

According to the quadrant definitions:

  • Quadrant I: \( ( \text{positive}, \text{positive} ) \)
  • Quadrant II: \( ( \text{negative}, \text{positive} ) \)
  • Quadrant III: \( ( \text{negative}, \text{negative} ) \)
  • Quadrant IV: \( ( \text{positive}, \text{negative} ) \)

Since the \(x\)-coordinate is positive and the \(y\)-coordinate is negative, the ordered pair \((6, -7)\) is located in Quadrant IV.

So the answer is IV.
