Y-axis

Answer 1

Q I & Q III

Explanation:

See the picture I have attached. The Quadrant numbers are in bold Roman numerals.

Only in quadrants I and III are x and Y both of the same sign.

If the point (a,b) is on an axis, one of the coordinates must be zero, but you were told that neither a nor b is zero, so the axes can be counted out as possible answers.
