Question

A graph of x versus y ranges from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 on both the axes. Points M to R are plotted. Points Q and R and plotted in quadrant 1. Point Q is shown at 1 increment on the x-axis and 2.5 increments on the y-axis. Point R is shown at 5 increments on the x-axis and 1 increment on the y-axis. Points M and N are plotted in quadrant 2. Point M in shown at 2 increments on the x-axis and 4 increments on the y-axis. Point N is shown at 2.5 increments on the x-axis and 1 increment on the y-axis. Point O is plotted in quadrant 3. Point O is shown at 1 increment on the x-axis and 2.5 increments on the y-axis. Point P is plotted in quadrant 4. Point P is shown at 2 increments on the x-axis and 3.25 increments on the y-axis.

Answer 1

The point located at (−2.5, 1) is not one of the points listed in the provided description of M, N, O, P, Q, and R.

• Points N and M are in quadrant 2, which means both x-coordinates are negative and positive respectively, negating these options.
• Point O is in quadrant 3, so it cannot have a positive y-coordinate and a negative x-coordinate.
• Point P is in quadrant 4, thus also cannot have a negative x-coordinate.

Therefore, the correct answer is that none of the points M, N, O, or P are located at (−2.5, 1).
