Question

Signs of abscissa and ordinate of a point in the third quadrant will be-

• A. +,+
• B. -,-
• C. -,+
• D. +,-

Answer 1

The correct option is B

-,-

Any point in the third quadrant is to the left of x-axis so the abscissa is negative and the point is below the x-axis so the ordinate is negative, too.

Logical approach:

Consider any point in the third quadrant example (-2,-1) we observe the signs.
