Coordinate planes: Do any of you know any nemonic devices or anything to help me remember quadrant numbers and the positive and negative signs? I have trouble remembering and anytime I look anything up Edgenuity kicks me out because it insists on being cancer.

Explanation:

Hello!!!

I can understand how you feel about this. I hope to do my best in helping you understand quadrant numbering and signs.

Now for the number start form the top right and move counter-clockwise, that is

Top right =1st quadrant

Top left = 2nd quadrant

Bottom left = 3rd quadrant

Bottom right =4th quadrant

Basically moving counter-clockwise you will get this

Now for the sign convection

Up and right are both positive

Down and left are both negative.

I hope this helps. Don't forget to let me know should you need any further assistance.

Regards.
