Question

If p and q are nonzero integers, which pair of points must lie in the same quadrant?
(p, q) and (q, p)
(p, q) and (2p, 2q)
(p, q) and (–p, –q)
(p, q) and (p – 2, q – 2)

Answer 1

Okay I'm here to help you!!

The correct answer is: A). (p,q) and (q,p)

Explanation: There are 4 total quadrants. A quadrant is a is the parts of a graph that are in four sections the are divided by the x and y axis. The 1st quadrant is at the top right. The 2nd one is at the top left. The 3rd quadrant is at the bottom left. And the 4th quadrant is at the bottom right. This information is important because depending on where the points are. If the points are in the 1st quadrant then they would both be positive. The reason is because the x-axis and y-axis are both positive. If the points are in the 2nd quadrant, their will be a negative x value and a positive y value. If they are in the 3rd quadrant, they would both be negative. And the 4th quadrant would have a positive x value and a negative y value.

I hope I helped you understand!!! Have a good day!!

Here goes an example of the quadrants things I was talking about:
