In which quadrant would the point (-3,5) be located on a cartesian plane?

  1. Quadrant I

  2. Quadrant II

  3. Quadrant III

  4. Quadrant IV

The correct answer is: Quadrant II

Based on the coordinate (-3,5), the point would be located in Quadrant II, which is in the upper left corner of the cartesian plane. This is because the x-coordinate, -3, is negative and the y-coordinate, 5, is positive. In Quadrant I, both coordinates are positive. In Quadrant III, both coordinates are negative. And in Quadrant IV, the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
