Question

Signs of the abscissa and ordinate of a point in the second quadrant are respectively
(a) +, +
(b) –, –
(c) –, +
(d) +, –

Answer 1

In the second quadrant, x < 0, y > 0.

Thus, the signs of the abscissa and ordinate of a point in the second quadrant are negative and positive, respectively. That is, x is − and y is +.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
