## Text Solution

Steps:

To determine the quadrant or axis of the points $$(–2, 4), (3, –1), (–1, 0), (1, 2)$$ and $$(–3, –5)$$.

Plot the points $$(–2, 4), (3, –1), (–1, 0), (1, 2)$$ and $$(–3, –5)$$ on the graph, to get

From the figure above, we can conclude that the points

• Point $$(–2, 4)$$ lie in $$2^\rm{nd}$$ quadrant
• Point $$(3, –1)$$ lie in $$4^\rm{th}$$ quadrant
• Point $$(–1, 0)$$ lie on the negative $$x-$$axis.
• Point $$(1, 2)$$ lie in $$1^\rm{st}$$ quadrant.
• Point $$(–3, –5)$$ lie in $$3^\rm{rd}$$quadrant.
