Question
If a point $(x, y)$ is in the second quadrant, which of the following must be true?I. $x<y$II. $x+y>0$III. $\frac{x}{y}<0$(A) only I(B) only II(C) only III(D) only I and II(E) only I and III
Step 1
This is because in this quadrant, we move left from the origin (negative x-direction) and up from the origin (positive y-direction). Show more…
