Question

In which quadrant does the point (5, -6) lie?

• A. $1^{st}$ Quadrant
• B. $4^{th}$ quadrant
• C. $3^{rd}$ quadrant
• D. It doesn’t lie in any quadrant

Answer 1

The correct option is B $4^{th}$ quadrant

For the point (5,-6), the abscissa is positive and ordinate is negative.

Every point in the fourth quadrant has its X-coordinate positive and Y-coordinate negative.

Hence the point lies in the fourth quadrant.
