To determine which quadrant the polygon is in, we need to consider the quadrant in which each of the points lies.
Point (9,-2) is in Quadrant I because both the x-coordinate (9) and y-coordinate (-2) are positive.
Point (12,-5) is also in Quadrant I because both the x-coordinate (12) and y-coordinate (-5) are positive.
Point (5,-7) is in Quadrant IV because the x-coordinate (5) is positive and the y-coordinate (-7) is negative.
Since all three points are in Quadrants I and IV, the polygon formed by connecting the points will cross the x-axis from Quadrant I to Quadrant IV. Therefore, the polygon is in both Quadrant I and Quadrant IV.
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

so which quadrant
The polygon is in both Quadrant I and Quadrant IV.
you can only choose one
Based on the majority of the points, the polygon is in Quadrant I.
