Answer

Refer to the image below for the plot. (a) Quadrant $I$ (b) Quadrant $III$ (c) Quadrant $II$ (d) Quadrant $I$ (e) $y$-axis (f) $x$-axis

Work Step by Step

Plot each point on the same coordinate plane. Note that to plot the point $(x,y)$, the $x$ -coordinate represents he distance of the point from the $y$-axis, while the $y$-coordinate represents the distance of the point from the $x$-axis. Refer to the attached image for the plot. Recall that quadrant $I$ is at the top right, quadrant $II$ is at the top left, quadrant $III$ is at the bottom left, and quadrant $IV$ is at the bottom right. Thus: (a) Quadrant $I$ (b) Quadrant $III$ (c) Quadrant $II$ (d) Quadrant $I$ (e) $y$-axis (f) $x$-axis
