Question

1. In which quadrant or on which axis do each of the points (-2,4) , (3,-1) ,(-1,0), (1,2) and (-3,-5) lie? Verify your answer by locating them on the cartesian plane

Answer 1

Point (-2 , 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point (3 , -1) lies in the 4th quadrant

Point (-1 , 0) lies on the negative part of the x-axis

Point (1 , 2) lies in the 1st quadrant

Point (-3 , -5) lies in the 3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the signs of the coordinates in each quadrant

• x and y coordinates are positive in the 1st quadrant
• x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive in the 2nd quadrant
• x and y coordinates are negative in the 3rd quadrant
• x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative in the 4th quadrant
• The general point on the positive part of x-axis is (x , 0), and on the negative part of x-axis is (-x , 0)
• The general point on the positive part of y-axis is (0 , y), and on the negative part of y-axis is (0 , -y)

Now let us check the points

Point (-2 , 4) ⇒ red point

∵ x = -2 and y = 4

∵ x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive

∴ Point (-2 , 4) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point (3 , -1) ⇒ blue point

∵ x = 3 and y = -1

∵ x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative

∴ Point (3 , -1) lies in the 4th quadrant

Point (-1 , 0) ⇒ green point

∵ x = -1 and y = 0

∵ x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is zero

∴ Point (-1 , 0) lies on the negative part of the x-axis

Point (1 , 2) ⇒ purple point

∵ x = 1 and y =2

∵ x and y coordinates are positive

∴ Point (1 , 2) lies in the 1st quadrant

Point (-3 , -5) ⇒ black point

∵ x = -3 and y = -5

∵ x and y coordinates are negative

∴ Point (-3 , -5) lies in the 3rd quadrant
