Without plotting the points on a graph paper indicate the quadrant in which they lie:

(i) ordinate = 4, abscissa = - 3


(ii) ordinate = - 5, abscissa = 4


(iii) abscissa = -1, ordinate = -2


(iv) abscissa = -5, ordinate = 3


(v) abscissa = 2, ordinate = 1


(vi) abscissa = 7, ordinate = -4

The concept is:


(+x, +y) 1st Quadrant


(-x, +y) 2nd Quadrant


(-x, -y) 3rd Quadrant


(+x, -y) 4th Quadrant


(i) Points having ordinate = 4 and abscissa = - 3 lies in the quadrant II


(ii) Points having ordinate = - 5 and abscissa = 4 lies in the quadrant IV


(iii) Points having ordinate = - 2 and abscissa = - 1 lies in the quadrant III


(iv) Points having ordinate = 3 and abscissa = - 5 lies in the quadrant II


(v) Points having ordinate = 1 and abscissa = 2 lies in the quadrant I


(vi) Points having ordinate = - 4 and abscissa = 7 lies in the quadrant IV
