In which quadrant P(2, -3) lies _____?

In which quadrant P(2, -3) lies _____?

Explanation

In the Cartesian coordinate system:

  • 1st quadrant: (+, +)
  • 2nd quadrant: (-, +)
  • 3rd quadrant: (-, -)
  • 4th quadrant: (+, -)

Given P(2, -3), the x-coordinate is positive (+) and the y-coordinate is negative (-), so it lies in the 4th quadrant.
