Question

In which quadrant both $x$ and $y$ coordinates are negative?

• A. First
• B. Second
• C. Third
• D. both (b.) and (c.)

Answer 1

The correct option is C Third

• First Quadrant: Both the $x$ and $y-$coordinates are positive.
• Second Quadrant: $x-$coordinate is negative and $y-$coordinate is positive.
• Third Quadrant: Both the $x$ and $y-$coordinates are negative.
• Fourth Quadrant: $x-$coordinate is positive and $y-$coordinate is negative.

Hence, the third quadrant has both $x$ and $y$ coordinates as negative.

Therefore, option (c.) is the correct choice.
