Answer:

3rd Quadrant

Explanation:

The "i" in complex numbers behave same as the y in real numbers, so basically this number translated in real would be same as (-14,-5).

To graph this, we have to go -14 units in x direction and -5 units in y direction. Basically, 14 units to the left and then 5 units down. That will place us in 3rd quadrant.

Hence, -14 -5i will fall in the 3rd quadrant of the complex plane.
