This point lies in the fourth quadrant.
Explanation:
To find the quadrant in which the point lies you have to look at the signs of its coordinates:
-
If both coordinates are positive, then the point lies in the first quadrant
-
If
#x<0# and#y>0# then the point lies in the second quadrant -
If both coordinates are negative then the point lies in the third quadrant
-
Finally if
#x>0# and#y<0# then the point lies in the fourth quadrant.
