Predict the result Coordinates connect scatterplots, slopes, line equations, and systems. Plot the source example point, four comma negative three. Set up the model Move four units right along the x direction. Then move three units down in the y direction. Work the example The point has positive x and negative y. It lies in quadrant four. Check the result For one point from the source example set, identify the quadrant of negative three comma negative six. Take eight seconds to think before the answer appears. [Eight-second silent pause to work; the answer remains hidden.] Both coordinates are negative, so the point lies in quadrant three. Interpret the result Points on an axis have a zero coordinate and are not assigned to a quadrant.
