Answer 1

Answer:

We know that, abscissa and coordinates in

First quadrant X= positive and Y= positive

Second quadrant X= negative and Y= positive

Third quadrant X= negative and Y= negative

Fourth quadrant X= positive and Y= negative

(2,−3) has X=2, positive and Y=−3, negative

Therefore point P(2,−3) lies in IV quadrant.

Answer 2

(-a, b) lie in 2nd quadrant
