The coordinates (9,-2),(12,-5),(5,-7) were plotted on a coordinate plane and a polygon was drawn. Is the polygon in quadrant z1,2,3,4

To determine in which quadrant the polygon lies, we can look at the signs of the x and y coordinates of the points.

(9, -2): This point is in quadrant I because both the x and y coordinates are positive.
(12, -5): This point is also in quadrant I because both the x and y coordinates are positive.
(5, -7): This point is in quadrant IV because the x coordinate is positive and the y coordinate is negative.

Since all three points are not in the same quadrant, the polygon does not lie entirely in quadrants I, II, III, or IV.
That is incorrect as usual
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's revisit the coordinates:

(9, -2): This point is in Quadrant I because the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
(12, -5): This point is also in Quadrant I because the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
(5, -7): This point is in Quadrant IV because both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are negative.

Since all three points are not in the same quadrant, the polygon formed by these points would not be entirely in any single quadrant.
