A page in Johanie’s workbook is torn, and one of the questions is cut off. She can read only the first part of the question:“In which quadrant would you find point P if the coordinates of P are (–5, ...”Assuming that P is not on an axis, what are the possible answers to this question?

The x-coordinate is −5, so point P is to the left of the y-axis. Since P is not on an axis, its y-coordinate must be either positive or negative: a positive y-coordinate places it in quadrant II, and a negative one places it in quadrant III. Therefore, the possible answers are quadrant II or quadrant III (choice B).
