Is it possible for a line to be in only one quadrant? Two quadrants? Write a rule for determining whether a line has positive, negative, zero, or undefined slope from knowing in which quadrants the line is found.

It is not possible for a line to be in only one quadrant. It can be in zero (if it is an axis), two (if it is vertical or horizontal or goes through the origin), three (if it not vertical, horizontal or goes through the origin.
It is impossible for a line to go through all four quadrants. If it has a positive slope, then it will be in Q1 and Q3 and will be in one of Q2 or Q4. If it has a negative slope then it will be in Q2 an Q4 and one (and only one) of the other two quadrants. This assumes it is not vertical, horizontal or that it goes through the origin.
