Solution
The points (– 5, 2) and (2, – 5) lie in the II and IV quadrants, respectively.
Explanation:
In point (–5, 2), x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive, so it lies in II quadrant and in point (2, –5), x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative, so it lies in IV quadrant.
