Answer 1

In the provided description of the coordinate plane, the yellow section is defined as the area to the left of the y-axis and below the x-axis (which corresponds to the third quadrant). Therefore, we are looking for points where the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is negative.

Let's analyze the given answer choices:

1. (-2, -5): x is negative, y is negative. This point is located in the yellow section.
2. (-2, -2): x is negative, y is negative. This point is located in the yellow section.
3. (-4, 3): x is negative, y is positive. This point is located in the red section (not yellow).
4. (2, -2): x is positive, y is negative. This point is located in the orange section (not yellow).
5. (-3, -7): x is negative, y is negative. This point is located in the yellow section.

Thus, the points that will be located in the yellow section are:

• (-2, -5)
• (-2, -2)
• (-3, -7)
