Point (–3, 5) lies in the
(A) first quadrant
(B) second quadrant
(C) third quadrant
(D) fourth quadrant
Answer: [B]
Solution.
We know that in
First quadrant : (+, +)
Second quadrant : (–, +)
Third quadrant : (–, –)
Fourth quadrant : (+, –)
Thus the value of x is –3 and y is 5
So that point (–3, 5) lies in the second quadrant.
Therefore option (B) is correct.
