Praxis 5003 Practice Question
Which quadrant of the xy-plane contains the point (-3,-6)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The point (-3, -6) is located in the third quadrant of the xy-plane, where both x and y coordinates are negative.
- Option A (I) is incorrect because quadrant I contains points where both coordinates are positive.
- Option B (II) is wrong since quadrant II has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate, which does not apply here.
- Option D (IV) is also incorrect because quadrant IV features a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate.
Thus, the only quadrant that fits the criteria of having both coordinates negative is quadrant III.
