Answer:

Fourth Quadrant

Explanation:

Abscissa means the x- coordinate and the ordinate means the y-coordinate.

So, we'll see in which quadrant the x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative.

Below, is the chart of the sign of abscissa and ordinate in different quadrants:-

3rd quadrant Negative Negative

4th quadrant Positive Negative

So, we can conclude that in 4th quadrant, the abscissa is positive and the ordinate is negative
