locate (-2,4) on the cartesian plane and write it's quadrant
Answers
firstly ,draw two mutually perpendicular lines which divide the plane into four quadrants.
If both( abscissa and ordinates) coordinates are positive , then point lies in I quadrant.
If abscissa is negative and ordinate is positive then point Lies in II quadrant .
If both coordinates are negative then point Lies in III quadrant.
If abscissa is positive and ordinate is negative then the point lies in IV quadrant.

Solution:
The point (-2,4) lies in second quadrant because it's X co-ordinate is negative and Y co-ordinate is positive.
The point (3,-1) lies in IV quadrant because it's X co-ordinate is positive and Y co-ordinate is negative.
The point (-1,0) lies on negative x-axis because it's X co-ordinate is negative and y co-ordinate is zero.
The point (1,2) lies in first quadrant because it's both coordinates are positive.
The point (-3,5) lies in third quadrant because it's both coordinates are negative.
[ graph is on the attachment]
from the graph it can be verified that the points lie in the same quadrants as stated above..
