Question

If a point lies in the third quadrant, then the point may be

• A.
  $(2,-6)$
• B.
  $(-2,6)$
• C.
  $(2,6)$
• D.
  $(-2,-6)$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$(-2,-6)$
If a point lies in the third quadrant, then the abscissa and ordinate of that point are negative.

Thus, (2, –6), (–2, 6) and (2, 6) does not lie in the third quadrant.

Therefore, the point may be (–2, –6).

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
