The point is located in the second quadrant because the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive. The coordinates are approximately (−2.5, 1.5) as seen on the graph. Choice A has the correct y-coordinate but a positive x-coordinate, which is not in the third quadrant. Choice C has the correct x-coordinate but a y-coordinate of 0, which is on the x-axis and not in the second quadrant. Choice D has the correct y-coordinate but a positive x-coordinate, which is not in the fourth quadrant. Choice E has the correct coordinates but is in the first quadrant, not the second.
