To Find :
The Quadrants of the given points :
a) Ordinate = -6 , Abscissa = -3
b) Ordinate = -6, Abscissa = 4
c) Ordinate = -5, Abscissa = -7
d) Ordinate = 3 , Abscissa = 5
Points To Remember :
Always remember these points :
- Ordinate is the Y-coordinate of the point
- Abscissa is the X-coordinate of the point .
- The signs of 1st Quadrant are (+,+)
- The signs of second Quadrant (-,+)
- The signs of third Quadrant are (-,-)
- The signs of Fourth Quadrant (+,-)
Solution :
1] Given,
ordinate= -6, abscissa = -3
Hence, Y coordinate = -6
X coordinate = -3
As we can see , all the sides are (-,-).
Hence, This point is located in third Quadrant

2] Given,
ordinate= -6, abscissa= 4,
Hence, X coordinate = 4
Y Coordinate = -6
As, the sign of the coordinates are (+,-)
Hence, This point is Located in the Fouth Quadrant.

3] Given,
abscissa= -5, ordinate= -7
Hence, X coordinate = -5
Y coordinate = -7
As, all the signs of the coordinates are (-,-)
Hence, This point is located in third Quadrant
________________________________
4] Given,
ordinate= 3, abscissa= 5
Hence, X coordinate = 5
Y coordinate = 3
as, all the points of the coordinates are (+,+)
Hence, This point is located in 1st Quadrant.
