Question

A point both of whose coordinates are negative will lie in.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C

III quadrant

Step 1 - I Quadrant

The first quadrant is in the upper right-hand corner of the plane. In this quadrant, both x and y-coordinates are positive

Example - $(x,y)=(3,5)$

Step 2- II Quandrant

The second quadrant is in the upper left-hand corner of the plane. In this quadrant, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Example - $(x,y)=(-3,5)$

Step 3- III Quadrant

The third quadrant is in the lower left-hand corner of the plane. In this quadrant, both x and y-coordinates are negative.

Example - $(x,y)=(-3,-5)$

Step 4- IV Quadrant

The fourth quadrant is on the lower right-hand corner of the plane. In this quadrant, the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.

Example - $(x.y)=(3,-5)$

so, a point both of whose coordinates are negative will lie in the III quadrant

Hence, Option C is a correct answer
