Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:

Point $(8,7)$ lies in the first quadrant of the graph.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

We know, for the point $(x,y)$,

in $I$ quadrant both $x$ and $y$ are positive,
in $II$ quadrant $x$ is negative and $y$ is positive,
in $III$ quadrant both $x$ and $y$ are negative
and in $IV$ quadrant $x$ is positive and $y$ is negative.

Given, the point $(8,7)$.

That is, $x$ is $8$, which is positive and $y$ is $7$, which is also positive.

Hence, the given point $(8,7)$ lies in the $I$st quadrant.

Therefore, the statement is true.

Hence, option $A$ is correct.
