Answer:

Therefore,

( 2 , -3 ) Lies in Quadrant IV.

Explanation:

Quadrant :

The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants.

Recall that the coordinate plane has an x-axis that divides into a top and bottom half, and a y-axis dividing into the left and right half. Together they create the four quadrants of the plane.

Numbering is done in Anticlockwise

Quadrant I - x-coordinate is Positive , y-coordinate is Positive.

Quadrant II - x-coordinate is Negative , y-coordinate is Positive.

Quadrant III - x-coordinate is Negative , y-coordinate is Negative.

Quadrant IV - x-coordinate is Positive , y-coordinate is Negative.

Therefore,

( 2 , -3 ) Lies in Quadrant IV.
