1
00:00:00,670 --> 00:00:05,520
In which quadrant is the point
negative 7 comma 7 located?

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:07,890
So let's just review
what a quadrant is.

3
00:00:07,890 --> 00:00:10,680
A quadrant are each
of the four sections

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:11,750
of the coordinate plane.

5
00:00:11,750 --> 00:00:13,250
And when we talk
about the sections,

6
00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:15,870
we're talking about the sections
as divided by the coordinate

7
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:16,960
axes.

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,600
So this right here is the
x-axis and this up-down axis

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,726
is the y-axis.

10
00:00:21,726 --> 00:00:23,600
And you can see it
divides a coordinate plane

11
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,140
into four sections.

12
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:27,950
We call each of these
sections quadrants.

13
00:00:27,950 --> 00:00:31,920
This one over here, where both
the x-values and the y-values

14
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,910
are positive, we call
the first quadrant.

15
00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:37,980
And we use the Roman numeral I.

16
00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:40,170
Then if we kind of
move counterclockwise

17
00:00:40,170 --> 00:00:43,120
around the coordinate
plane, this quadrant where

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,070
the x-values are negative and
the y-values are positive,

19
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:48,825
we call this the
second quadrant.

20
00:00:51,370 --> 00:00:52,840
I could write it.

21
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,050
We call this the
second quadrant.

22
00:00:56,050 --> 00:00:59,120
Then we go down here where
both the x-values are negative

23
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,880
and the y-values are negative.

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,110
We call this the third
quadrant, once again

25
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:04,660
using Roman numerals.

26
00:01:04,660 --> 00:01:07,430
Then finally the quadrant
where the x-values are positive

27
00:01:07,430 --> 00:01:09,180
but the y-values
are negative, we

28
00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:11,560
call this the fourth quadrant.

29
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,310
So let's see which quadrant
the point negative 7 comma

30
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:14,927
7 is located.

31
00:01:14,927 --> 00:01:16,510
So there's two ways
to think about it.

32
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:20,180
You could just say, look,
we have a negative x-value.

33
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:22,030
Our x-value is
negative, so we're

34
00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:23,240
going to move to the left.

35
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,730
So we're going to
be on this side.

36
00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:26,438
We're going to be on
this side right here

37
00:01:26,438 --> 00:01:28,220
of the coordinate plane.

38
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:30,280
Just by the fact that
the x-value is negative,

39
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,040
we're going to be either in the
second or the third quadrant.

40
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,150
Now, we know that the
y-value is positive.

41
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:39,230
We know that the
y-value is positive.

42
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:42,430
So if the x-value is negative
and the y-value is positive,

43
00:01:42,430 --> 00:01:44,410
we're going to land
someplace right over here

44
00:01:44,410 --> 00:01:45,537
in the second quadrant.

45
00:01:45,537 --> 00:01:47,120
The other way to
think about it is you

46
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,860
could literally
just plot this point

47
00:01:48,860 --> 00:01:51,030
and see that it falls
in the second quadrant.

48
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:52,080
So let's do that.

49
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,400
If x is negative 7.

50
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,040
So that's negative 1, negative
2, negative 3, negative 4,

51
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,607
negative 5, negative
6, negative 7.

52
00:01:59,607 --> 00:02:00,440
Did I do that right?

53
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,690
1, 2, 3 4, 5, 6, 7.

54
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:05,360
So this is x is negative 7.

55
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,190
And then we have to
go up 7 because y

56
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:08,410
is equal to positive 7.

57
00:02:08,410 --> 00:02:14,510
So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 7.

58
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:20,100
So the point negative 7
comma 7 is right over here,

59
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:23,323
clearly lies in the
second quadrant.
