Question

In which quadrant do the following points lie?
(i)$(3,2)$
(ii)$(-2,1)$
(iii)$(-1,-3)$
(iv)$(5,-1)$

Answer 1

(i) In the point $(3,2)$ abscissa and ordinate both are positive. So it lies in the 1st quadrant.
(ii) In the point $(-2,1)$ abscissa is negative and ordinate is positive. So it lies in the second quadrant.
(iii) In the point $(-1,-3)$ abscissa and ordinate are both negative. So it lies in third quadrant.
(iv) In the point $(5,-1)$ abscissa is positive and ordinate is negative. So it lies in the fourth quadrant.
