Question

In which quadrant is the point (-5, -4) in?

III
IV
II
I

Answer 1

quadrant 3

Explanation:

only quadrant 3 contains both negative values for x & y

Answer 2

III

Explanation:

First, remember the order of the quadrants; quadrant I is in the top right corner then the quadrants increase moving counterclockwise. So, the third quadrant is the bottom left. Each quadrant consist of (x,y) values of different signs.

They are as follows:

I - (x,y)

II - (-x,y)

III - (-x,-y)

IV - (x,-y)

Since, (-5,-4) has two negative coordinates, it must be in the III quadrant.
