A point has coordinates where both x and y are positive. Which quadrant is it in?

AQuadrant II
BQuadrant I
CQuadrant III
DQuadrant IV
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Quadrant I
1. The summary of sign patterns shows Quadrant I as the quadrant where both x and y are positive. 2. Quadrant II has a negative x and positive y, Quadrant III has both negative, and Quadrant IV has positive x and negative y, so none of those match both coordinates being positive. 3. The quadrants are numbered starting in the upper right and moving counterclockwise, so Quadrant I is the first one reached. _Source: OpenStax Elementary Algebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 "Graphs", section 4.1 Use the Rectangular Coordinate System_
