anonymous · Answer

I dont really understand it at all

anonymous · Answer

So okay so let me try to explain it

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

alright go for it

anonymous · Answer

Well quadrant 1 and 2 arent touched because they are both is the bottom 2 quadrants so they dont go through the top two

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

extend the line indefinitely in both directions (as far as you can)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

does it ever cross into quadrant II?

anonymous · Answer

oh youre right if i did extend the line it would go into quadrant 2 so quadrants 2, 3, and 4 have the line passing through it.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer
