The quadrants are labeled one, two, three, and four.
It consists of two quadrants and four axes.
The two axes intersect at the origin.

which one did you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
D .
The two axes intersect at the origin.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no that's the very definition of the origin
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's at the intersection of the x and y axis
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so D is actually true

oooh ok..thanks :)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you'll find that B and C are contradictory, which one of those is false?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
B?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no any xy axis system has 4 quadrants I through IV
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so statement C saying it only has 2 quadrants is completely false

oooo never mind i see
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you see how C is false now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes!
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
(x,y) is any point on this coordinate system, so that's why A is true
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok great
