Example Question #851 : Act Math
In which Quadrant is the point located?
Quadrant IV
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant III
To find out which quadrant a point lives in, we need to remember the qualities of each quadrant. By qualities, I mean the signs associated with the x and y values which are dependent on the quadrant the point resides in.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant I will have a positive x value and a positive y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant II will have a negative x value and a positive y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant III will have a negative x value and a negative y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant IV will have a positive x value and a negative y value.
For the point we see that both the x and y values are negative therefore, the point lies in the third quadrant. We can also check this by starting from the origin and going left 3 units and down 3 units. This will end up in the lower-left section of the coordinate-plane, which is Quadrant III.
