Question

Without plotting the point, indicate the quadrant in which the given point will lies whose ordinate is $-5$ and abscissa is $3$?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D $IV$

$I$ quadrant $⟶$ abscissa is positive& ordinate is positive.

$II$ quadrant $⟶$ abscissa is negative & ordinate is positive.

$III$ quadrant $⟶$ abscissa is negative & ordinate is negative.

$IV$ quadrant $⟶$ abscissa is positive & ordinate is negative. Here abscissa is $+3$ & ordinate is $-5$.

$\therefore$ The point lies in the $IV$ quadrant.
