In the fourth quadrant.

Based on the positives and negatives of a point, you can tell which quadrant it lies in.

#"Quadrant 1"# = #(+x,+y)#
#"Quadrant 2"# = #(-x,+y)#
#"Quadrant 3"# = #(-x,-y)#
#"Quadrant 4"# = #(+x,-y)#

The point that you gave is:

#(4,-3)#

It will be in the fourth quadrant, because it has a positive #x# value and a negative #y# value. Another way to test this would be to graph it:

As you can see, the point is in Quadrant 4.
