The point (3, 2) belongs to quadrant _______________ :a)Q1b)Q2c)Q3d)Q4...
The point (3, 2) is located in the first quadrant. This is because both the x coordinate and the y coordinate are positive, which are the characteristics of points in Quadrant I.
The correct answer is: A: Q1

Explanation:
Quadrants are the four regions in a coordinate plane which are separated by the x-axis and y-axis. These quadrants are numbered from 1 to 4 in a counterclockwise direction. Let's understand how to identify the quadrant in which a point lies:
- Quadrant 1 (Q1): This quadrant is on the right side of the y-axis and above the x-axis. The values of x and y are both positive in this quadrant. So, any point lying in this quadrant has positive values for both x and y coordinates.
- Quadrant 2 (Q2): This quadrant is on the left side of the y-axis and above the x-axis. The value of x is negative and the value of y is positive in this quadrant. So, any point lying in this quadrant has negative x-coordinate and positive y-coordinate.
- Quadrant 3 (Q3): This quadrant is on the left side of the y-axis and below the x-axis. The values of both x and y are negative in this quadrant. So, any point lying in this quadrant has negative values for both x and y coordinates.
- Quadrant 4 (Q4): This quadrant is on the right side of the y-axis and below the x-axis. The value of x is positive and the value of y is negative in this quadrant. So, any point lying in this quadrant has positive x-coordinate and negative y-coordinate.
Now, let's identify in which quadrant the point (3, 2) lies:
- The x-coordinate of the point is 3 which is positive.
- The y-coordinate of the point is 2 which is also positive.
Since both the x and y-coordinates of the point are positive, it lies in the Quadrant 1 (Q1).
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' which says that the point (3, 2) belongs to quadrant Q1.
