Statement 1 alone tells you that 
and 
are of the same sign, so the point is in Quadrant I (both positive) or Quadrant III (both negative).
Statement 2 tells you that any of the following hold:
is positive and 
is negative - example: 
is negative and 
is negative - example: 
is positive and 
is positive - example: 
This places the point in any quadrant except Quadrant II (where 
is negative and 
is positive).
The two statements together only eliminate two quadrants and leave both Quadrant I and Quadrant III as possibilities.
