quadrant III quadrant I
quadrant IV quadrant II
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Coordinates
The problem requires plotting the point (3, -4) on a graph. The coordinates are (3, -4), where 3 is the x-coordinate and -4 is the y-coordinate.
Step 2: Determine the Quadrant
The point (3, -4) lies in the fourth quadrant because the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
Step 3: Choose the Correct Graph
Examine the given graphs to find the one that correctly plots the point (3, -4). The correct graph is the one where the point is located 3 units to the right of the origin (positive x-direction) and 4 units down (negative y-direction).
