You may use counter examples and eliminate options

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

i think the answer is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example if you let \(j=1\) and \(k=-1\) then\[(j,j)=(1,1) \]\[(k,k)=(-1,-1)\]and these are not in the same quadrant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For 'b' what if I say let \(j=-1\) and \(k=-1\)

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

ohhhh

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

(-1,-1 )

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

and

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

umm

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

idk

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

... sorry...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is nothing to be sorry about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\((jk,jk)=(1,1)\) because \((-1)(-1)=1\) so also 'b' cannot be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

because when you add 2 negatives it equals a a positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

emm.. when you multiply two negatives actually ;)

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

ohh right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so here is the point, If we want two points be lie in the same quadrant their x's must have the same sign and their y's must have the same sign see for example (2, -4) and (13, -35) lie in the same quadrant (4th quadrant)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think about two other options?

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

so its either c or d

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

umm

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

i think the answer would be c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and remember that if you multiply a number by a positive number its sign doesn't change

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

ok so i think its d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very good, answer is 'd'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you tell me a counter example for 'c'?

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

no.. math is not my strong point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, no problem :)

OpenStudy (kristenskate):

so just to double check the answer is d
