Answer:

The ordered pair (-4,-6) is in the 3rd quadrant

Explanation:

If we have an ordered pair (a,b), they would fall in:

  • 1st quadrant: if a and b are positive
  • 2nd quadrant: if a is negative and b is positive
  • 3rd quadrant: if a and b are negative
  • 4th quadrant: if a is positive and b is negative

Then, taking into account that -4 and -6 are negative numbers, the ordered pair (-4,-6) belong to the 3rd quadrant
