#(-2, -2)# lies exactly at the 3rd Quadrant

All we need to know where the locations of the points are classified into 9 sets.

(Positive x, Positive y)=located in the 1st Quadrant
Examples: #(4, 5)#, and #(3, 11) # , and #(1/2, 4.5)#

(Negative x, Positive y)=located in the 2nd Quadrant
Examples: #(-7, 2)#, and #(-4, 6) # , and #(-23, 2)#

(Negative x, Negative y)=located in the 3rd Quadrant
Examples: #(-3, -7)#, and #(-1, -16) # , and #(-13, -12)#

(Positive x, Negative y)=located in the 4th Quadrant
Examples: #(8, -5)#, and #(9, -15) # , and #(11, -5)#

(Positive x, Zero y)=located at the Positive x-axis
Examples: #(4, 0)#, and #(3, 0) # , and #(12, 0)#

(Negative x, Zero y)=located at the Negative x-axis
Examples: #(-4, 0)#, and #(-3, 0) # , and #(-12, 0)#

(Zero x, Positive y)=located at the Positive y-axis
Examples: #(0, 5)#, and #(0, 11) # , and #(0, 8)#

(Zero x, Negative y)=located at the Negative y-axis
Examples: #(0, -8)#, and #(0, -5) # , and #(0, -1)#

(Zero x, Zero y)=located at the intersection of the axes which is the point of origin #(0, 0)#

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
