Answer:

Quadrant IV

Explanation:

For an angle in the fourth quadrant the point P has positive x coordinate and negative y coordinate. Therefore: In Quadrant IV, cos(θ) > 0, sin(θ) < 0 and tan(θ) < 0 (Cosine positive). The quadrants in which cosine, sine and tangent are positive are often remembered using a favorite mnemonic.
