We are given the following point
(-4, 1)
We are asked to determine in which quadrant does the point lies.
As you can see, the x-coordinate (x = -4) of the point is negative and the y-coordinate (y = 1) of the point is positive.
Let us sketch a diagram to better understand the problem
The point falls in Quadrant II since the x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive,
