Point p(–a, a) where a < 0, lies in ____ quadrant​

Answer 1

Answer:

it's called 3rd quarterant ..(-a,a) lie in 3rd .

Answer 2

here a>0 i.e a is negative.

so, the given point p(-a,a) is represented as p(a,-a).

when x- axis is positive and y-axis is negative then the point lies in 4th quadrant.

Therefore, p(-a,a) when a <0, lies in 4th quadrant
