Question

Without graphing, identify the quadrant in which the point (x, y) lies if x < 0 and y < 0. a. III b. IV c. I d. II

Answer 1

Answer

The answer is 3rd quadrant.

Explanation

Because in quadrant graph

• 1st quadrant has all the values along axis are positive (x>0 , y>0)
• In 2nd quadrant x axis contains negative values  and y axis contains positive values (x<0, y>0)  
• In 3rd quadrant all values along x and y axis will be negative (x<0 and y<0)
• And in 4th quadrant, the value along x axis will be positve and along y axis will be negative (x>0 and y<0)

As the question shows (x<0, y<0).

So,  the answer is quadrant 3rd.
