Question

A point whose abscissa is −3 and ordinate 2 lies in

Options

• First quadrant

• Second quadrant

• Third quadrant

•  Fourth quadrant

Answer 1

As we know that

In the first quadrant   x > 0, y >0

In the second quadrant  x < 0 , y > 0

In the third quadrant  x < 0 y < 0

In the fourth quadrant  x > 0,y < 0

The point whose abscissa is −3 which is negative and ordinate 2 is positive, so this point lies in the second quadrant.
