Problem 8: Circle the point that is considered to not lie in a quadrant.

Points:
- (-4, -2)
- (-3, 8)
- (1, 1)
- (5, 0)

Explanation:
The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants:
- Quadrant I: (+, +)
- Quadrant II: (−, +)
- Quadrant III: (−, −)
- Quadrant IV: (+, −)

Points on the axes (where either x = 0 or y = 0) do not lie in any quadrant.

Look at the points:
- (-4, -2): both negative → Quadrant III ✔
- (-3, 8): x negative, y positive → Quadrant II ✔
- (1, 1): both positive → Quadrant I ✔
- (5, 0): y = 0 → lies on the x-axis, so not in a quadrant ✘

✔ Answer: (5, 0)

Problem 9: Plot (3, -3) & (4, -5). Points lie in Quadrant ___

- (3, -3): x = +3, y = -3 → Quadrant IV
- (4, -5): x = +4, y = -5 → Quadrant IV

Both points are in Quadrant IV

✔ Answer: Quadrant IV

---

Problem 10: Plot (-1, 3) & (-4, 4). Points lie in Quadrant ___

- (-1, 3): x = -1, y = +3 → Quadrant II
- (-4, 4): x = -4, y = +4 → Quadrant II

Both points are in Quadrant II

✔ Answer: Quadrant II

---

Problem 11: Give the coordinates of a point that would lie in quadrant III and IV, respectively.

- Quadrant III: Both x and y are negative → e.g., (-2, -3)
- Quadrant IV: x positive, y negative → e.g., (4, -1)

✔ Answer: (-2, -3) & (4, -1)
*(Any valid point works — these are examples)*

---

Problem 12: Determine the coordinates of the point.

Looking at the grid:
- The point is located 3 units right and 4 units up from origin.
- So, x = 3, y = 4

✔ Answer: (3, 4)

---

Problem 13: Determine the coordinates of the point.

Point is 2 units left and 1 unit up from origin.
- x = -2, y = 1

✔ Answer: (-2, 1)

---

Problem 14: Determine the coordinates of the point.

Point is 5 units right and 3 units up from origin.
- x = 5, y = 3

✔ Answer: (5, 3)

Answer Key (Bubble-in section):

Now, match your answers to the options:

| Problem | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| 8 | (5, 0) → O (5,0) |
| 9 | Quadrant IV → O (x,-y) |
| 10 | Quadrant II → O (-x,y) |
| 11 | Example: (-2,-3) & (4,-1) → O (-x,-y) & O (x,-y) |
| 12 | (3,4) → O (3,4) |
| 13 | (-2,1) → O (-2,1) |
| 14 | (5,3) → O (5,3) |

But since the answer choices are listed as:

```
O (5,3) O (4,0) O (x,-y)
O (-3,8) O (0,2) O (-x,y)
O (-4,0) O (5,0) O (x,y)
O (-4,-2) O (-2,0) O (0,-2)
O (-5,3) O (0,4) O (1,1)
```

And also labeled:

- O (5,3) → for 14
- O (5,0) → for 8
- O (-2,0) → not correct for 13
- O (3,4) is not listed? Wait — it's missing.

Wait! Let’s check the actual bubble options again:

It says:

> Bubble in your answers below for problems #8–14.

Then lists:

- O (5,3) → likely for #14
- O (4,0) → maybe not used
- O (x,-y) → Quadrant IV → for #9
- O (-3,8) → possible for #8? No, we chose (5,0)
- O (0,2) → axis point
- O (-x,y) → Quadrant II → for #10
- O (-4,0) → axis
- O (5,0) → matches #8
- O (x,y) → Quadrant I
- O (-4,-2) → Quadrant III
- O (-2,0) → axis
- O (0,-2) → axis
- O (-5,3) → Quadrant II
- O (0,4) → axis
- O (1,1) → Quadrant I

So matching:

- #8: (5,0) → O (5,0)
- #9: Quadrant IV → O (x,-y)
- #10: Quadrant II → O (-x,y)
- #11: Not directly listed — but you write coordinates manually
- #12: (3,4) → O (3,4) — but not listed? Wait, maybe typo?

Wait — looking closely: the answer bubbles seem to be mixed.

Actually, the bubbles are labeled like this:

```
O (5,3) O (4,0) O (x,-y)
O (-3,8) O (0,2) O (-x,y)
O (-4,0) O (5,0) O (x,y)
O (-4,-2) O (-2,0) O (0,-2)
O (-5,3) O (0,4) O (1,1)
```

But only some match our answers.

So let's assign:

- #8: (5,0) → O (5,0)
- #9: Points lie in Quadrant IV → O (x,-y)
- #10: Points lie in Quadrant II → O (-x,y)
- #11: You need to write two coordinates — not bubbled
- #12: (3,4) → but not listed — maybe it's implied?
- #13: (-2,1) → not listed
- #14: (5,3) → O (5,3)

So bubbling:
- #8 → O (5,0)
- #9 → O (x,-y)
- #10 → O (-x,y)
- #14 → O (5,3)

For #12 and #13, the coordinates are not among the bubbles — so likely you just write them in the blank.

Reflection: From this activity, I learned...

Example reflection:
> I learned how to identify which quadrant a point lies in based on the signs of its coordinates. I also learned that points on the axes do not belong to any quadrant. Plotting points helped me visualize how x and y values relate to position on the coordinate plane.
