Which graph contains the point (−5, 8)

?(1 point)
Responses

A graph of x versus y ranges from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1 on both axes. A point is shown at 5 increments on the x-axis and 8 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 3.

The point you're looking for, (−5, 8), has an x-coordinate of −5 and a y-coordinate of 8.

To determine which graph contains this point:

  • The x-coordinate (−5) indicates that the point is on the left side of the graph (negative x-axis).
  • The y-coordinate (8) indicates that the point is above the x-axis (positive y-axis).

This means the point (−5, 8) would be located in Quadrant 2, where x is negative and y is positive.

From the options provided:

  • The graph that shows a point at (−5, 8) is "A graph of x versus y ranges from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1 on both axes. A point is shown at 5 increments on the x-axis and 8 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 2."

So the correct response is the one that mentions the point in quadrant 2.
