We know that right of the origin represents the positive x-direction, and above the origin represents the positive y-direction. For Quadrant I, both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate must be positive, i.e. (+,+). For quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative, while the y-coordinate is positive, i.e. (+, -). For Quadrant III, both coordinates must be negative, i.e. (-, -). For Quadrant IV, the x-coordinate is positive, and the y-coordinate is negative, i.e. (+, -).

?
In which quadrant is the point ?
Tap to reveal answer
The quadrants are numbered as follows:

The point (-2,3) has a negative x coordinate, so the point is on the left side of the y-axis, and a positive y-coordinate, so the point is above the x-axis.
That places it in quadrant II.

What ordered pair is shown below?

What ordered pair is shown below?

Tap to reveal answer
The x-coordinate is the first one listed, and the y-coordinate is the second coordinate in the parentheses. You have to go either left or right with the x-coordinate, and the y-coordinate is the one on the vertical axis.
The point shown is in the IV quadrant, which means that the x-coordinate is positive, and the y-coordinate is negative.
The only point that fulfills those standards is
