Question

In which quadrant or on which axis do each of the points and lie? Verify your answer by locating them on the Cartesian plane.

Answer 1

The point lies in the II^nd quadrant in the Cartesian plane because for point, x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive.

Again, the point lies in the IV^th quadrant in the Cartesian plane because for point, x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative.

The point lies on negative x-axis because for point , the value of y-coordinate is zero and the value of x-coordinate is negative.

The point lies in the I^st quadrant as for point , both x and y are positive.

The point lies in the III^rd quadrant in the Cartesian plane because for point , both x and y are negative.
