Question

In which octant, does $(-4,2,3)$ lie?

• A. III
• B. VIII
• C. VI
• D. II

Answer 1

The correct option is D II

The three perpendicular coordinate axes meet at one of the points which divide the plane into eight quadrants.

The $1^{st}$ quadrant has all positive points, $2^{nd}$ has $x$ -ve and remaining $2$ are +ve points and so on.

Thus, the point $(-4,2,3)$ lies in $II$ octant.
