Question

Signs of the abscissa and ordinate of a point in the second quadrant are respectively.

• A. $+,-$
• B. $-,+$
• C. $-,-$
• D. $+,+$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $-,+$

Step 1: Drawing coordinate plane.


Step 2: Finding the signs in second quadrant.
As in the figure, we can clearly see that the second quadrant lies between the positive y – axis and the negative x – axis.
So, in the quadrant, abscissa is negative and ordinate is positive, i.e., $(-,+)$

Hence, the correct option is C.
