Answer:

Quadrant II

General Formulas and Concepts:

The top right square of the Cartesian Plane is the First Quadrant.

The top left square of the Cartesian Plane is the Second Quadrant.

The bottom left square of the Cartesian Plane is the Third Quadrant.

The bottom right square of the Cartesian Plane is the Fourth Quadrant.

Read the Cartesian Plane counterclockwise starting from the top right.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

(-5, 4)

x = -5

y = 4

Step 2: Find

  • We know since x = -5, our point is either going to be in Quadrant II or III
  • Since y is positive (4), it will go up, meaning that the point will be in Quadrant II
