Question

On which quadrant does $P$ lie if its ordinate is $5$ and the abscissa is $-3$?

• A. $I$
• B. $II$
• C. $III$
• D. $IV$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$II$

The co-ordinates of the given point $P$ are $(-3,5)$.

Hence, $P$ lies in the $II$ quadrant. (since abscissa (i.e, x coordinate) is negative and ordinate (y coordinate) is positive)

So, option $B$ is correct.
