The coordinates (9,−2) , (12,−5) , and (5,−7) were plotted on a coordinate plane, and a polygon was drawn. Is the polygon in Quadrant I, II, III, or IV? Answer 1 for Quadrant I, 2 for Quadrant II, 3 for Quadrant III, or 4 for Quadrant IV. (1 point)

The polygon is in Quadrant I. (1)
can i have the steps?
Of course! Here are the steps to determine the quadrant in which the polygon lies:
1. Identify the quadrant of each individual point.
- (9, -2) is in Quadrant IV because the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
- (12, -5) is in Quadrant IV for the same reason.
- (5, -7) is in Quadrant IV as well.
2. Determine the quadrant in which the entire polygon lies.
- Since all three points are in Quadrant IV, the polygon as a whole will also be in Quadrant IV.
Therefore, the polygon lies in Quadrant IV.
