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 IV quadrant has its X-coordinate positive and Y-coordinate negative.

Hence the point lies in the IV quadrant.
