Question

If the coordinates of a point are (0,-4), then it lies in ​

Answer 1

The point (0.-4) lies on the negative region of the y-axis.

• The sign conventions for points lying on the different axis are, for the positive side of the x-axis the sign convention is (+,0), for the negative x-axis is (-,0), for the positive y-axis is (0,+), and for the negative y-axis is (0,-).
• In this case the given point is (0,-4), So this point will lie on the negative side of the y-axis. As it matches with the sign convention (0,-).

Answer 2

Given: Here we have given the coordinates (0,-4)

To find: we have to find the point were it lies

Solution:

Here if the point is

(+,+) it is in the 1st quadrent

(-,+) it is in the 2nd quadrent

(-,-) it is in the 3rd quadrent

(+,-) it is in the 4th quadrent

The point (0,4) lies in the 3rd or 4th quadrent on the y-axis

Final answer:

Hence the point (0,4) lies in the 3rd or 4th quadrent on the y-axis
