Determine the quadrant of various points on the unit circle

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Alex Thompson

To determine the quadrant of a point on the unit circle, consider the signs of the x and y coordinates:

Quadrant I: Both coordinates are positive ($x > 0$, $y > 0$)

Quadrant II: x is negative, y is positive ($x < 0$, $y > 0$)

Quadrant III: Both coordinates are negative ($x < 0$, $y < 0$)

Quadrant IV: x is positive, y is negative ($x > 0$, $y < 0$)

Answer 2

James Taylor

To determine the quadrant of a point, look at the signs of its coordinates:

1. Quadrant I: $x > 0$, $y > 0$

2. Quadrant II: $x < 0$, $y > 0$

3. Quadrant III: $x < 0$, $y < 0$

4. Quadrant IV: $x > 0$, $y < 0$

Answer 3

Olivia Lee

Check coordinate signs:

1: $x > 0$, $y > 0$

2: $x < 0$, $y > 0$

3: $x < 0$, $y < 0$

4: $x > 0$, $y < 0$
