Question

Without plotting the points on a graph paper indicate the quadrant in which they lie:
(i) ordinate = 4, abscissa = −3
(ii) ordinate = −5, abscissa = 4
(iii) abscissa = −1, ordinate = −2
(iv) abscissa = −5, ordinate = 3
(v) abscissa = 2, ordinate = 1
(vi) abscissa = 7, ordinate = −4

Answer 1

(i) Point (−3,4) lies in quadrant II.
(ii) Point (4,−5) lies in quadrant IV.
(iii) Point (−1,−2) lies in quadrant III.
(iv) Point (−5, 3) lies in quadrant II.
(v) Point (2,1) lies in quadrant I.
(vi) Point (7,−4) lies in quadrant IV.
